Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

I have successfully defended the rights of the accused in the full range of criminal and traffic offenses since 1992. I am sensitive to the fact that while I have a busy caseload, this may be your only experience with the criminal justice system. Whether your are accused of a minor traffic violation or a serious felony, you can expect that your matter will be handled with a high level of professionalism, integrity and sensitivity. Remember, itâs your case.



Proper communication between attorney and client is the hallmark of effective representation. Clients can expect copies of documents filed on their behalf and should maintain a file for their records. Phone calls are returned within 24 hours. In the event a call is not returned, clients are encouraged to make a follow up call. I am a courtroom attorney and often out of the office but excellent staff and current technology make quick response possible.
