Practice Areas: Litigation

While still in law school I worked in a Commonwealth Attorney's office, where I assisted prosecutors in cases ranging from simple traffic infractions to violent crimes against children.  After graduating from law school I was able to use that knowledge to effectively assist my clients in the defense of a wide variety of criminal charges.  I also assist clients going through divorces and child custody/child support battles.
