Yale Law School Graduate and Trial Practice Instructor Truly Experienced in Complex Cases

I began practicing law in 1980. A graduate of Yale Law School, I have taught trial practice there. In addition to defending people in cases ranging from misdemeanors to DUI/DWI, robberies, and murder, I now dedicate my practice to the most serious felonies and the most complicated cases. I have the background, skill, and knowledge to handle any criminal offense. I handle all types of serious felony cases, including:

White collar crime including RICO, computer crimes, mail, wire, and health care fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering. I know how to perform the complex financial analysis and retain the experts needed to successfully defend these cases.

VCAR and drug conspiracies, as well as related issues such as weapons, assault, federal drug trafficking and importation charges, and drug forfeitures. I am experienced trying these cases before juries in state and federal court.

Internet and sex offenses such as child pornography, federal sex offenses, kidnapping and rape, human trafficking, internet fraud, and identity theft.

I am a trial attorney. I have no hesitation about taking on the government on your behalf and taking your case before a jury. I am also a smart, confident advocate in plea bargains and in all contact with the prosecution. I will sit down with you and perform a comprehensive analysis of the facts and law in your case and help you make the decision that is best for you.

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.
