I've spent my entire career practicing in the area of criminal defense. I work closely with my clients through all stages of the case from first appearance to trial and post conviction issues. You'll never have the stress of your situation made worse by wondering who's going to meet you at the courthouse. I'll be there in person every time.
Especially in the early stages of the case when my streamlined defense techniques tend to run ahead of the prosecution's bureaucracy, I work hard to take the initiative in the case and put the pressure on the government to reduce or dismiss the charges against you.
I use my experience to give you an accurate assessment of the possible risks as they might change over the course of the case. You'll decide whether to enter into a plea agreement or take your case to trial on the basis of solid information. If presenting your defense to a judge or jury appears to be in your best interests, I know how to hold the government to the strict burden of proof in court.
These are some examples of the cases I handle:
- Murder
- Attempted murder
- Homicide or manslaughter
- Vehicular manslaughter
- Assault of all degrees
- Felony or misdemeanor domestic violence
- Armed robbery
- Carjacking
- Kidnapping
- Arson
- Weapons offenses
As your defense attorney, I'm committed to protecting your rights and freedom. In some cases, that means finding ways to negotiate felony charges down to misdemeanors. In others, that means resolving felony charges on terms that will give you an excellent chance of a reduced sentence or probation.
