Our Advantage
I have dedicated the last eighteen years of my professional career to the Criminal Justice system, helping those unfortunate enough to find themselves in our criminal justice system.
It is an intimidating and overwhelming process, and it is a scarey and dangerous path to those who have never traveled down it before. I can help guide you through it.

First, we have a team approach. You don't have just one attorney working on your case, you have a team. And we genuinely care. Who among us has not been accused of something they did not do... or was condemned before they could be heard ?
My father was a criminal defense attorney for years... People would come up to us when I was younger and thank him again and again for his help. Families of his clients would spontaneously embrace him thanking him for keeping their husband or son out of jail. I owe this empathy l have for our fellow human beings to my father.... but for the grace of God go I.
It is easy to point the finger and condemn. It takes a mental and physical courage to believe in someone when no one else will. To those who have already been condemned without others hearing the full story,
I can help.
