A Meticulous Investigator: A Fearless and Vigilant Advocate

I understand that, when you are facing criminal charges, you are facing the crushing weight of a powerful government with almost unlimited resources to take away your freedom. My job as your attorney—my cause—is to stand up to them for you.

When you work with me, you will never be passed along to a less experienced associate. My office is a friendly, comfortable place where no one will judge you. I am meticulous in investigating and researching every aspect of your case, and I am completely focused on getting you the best possible outcome.

If you know that you are being investigated for a crime, please retain an attorney as soon as possible. Also, please be aware that you do not have to talk to the police and you do not have to let them into your home unless they have a search warrant. In my experience as a criminal defense attorney, it never helps your case to speak with the police.
