I want to thank you for coming to coming to this profile.

I became an attorney because I believe in justice and freedom and every person's right to have the protections guaranteed to us as citizens of the United States of America.

I know that there are hundreds of other attorneys in Tucson and that you might ask me why you should consider hiring me instead of another.

My answer is that each and every one of my clients gets one hundred and ten percent of my time, effort and caring.

I turn over every stone and explore every lead in order to find the evidence and law needed to do all that I can for those I have sworn to protect.

I am a very passionate man who has a driving desire to fight for and serve those who need my help.

I have lived in Tucson since 1963. I graduated from Catalina High School, the University of Arizona and the University of Arizona College of Law. I have an honorable discharge from the United States Army. I have handled felony and misdemeanor cases at the trial level for 33 years, helping thousands of people in the process.

I defend in the City Court, Justice Court, Juvenile Court, Superior Court, Federal District Court, Federal District Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.
I will not charge you to discuss your case with me at my office regardless of how long it takes.

The bottom line is that I will fight as zealously for your freedoms, liberties and constitutional rights as I would for my friends, my family and my self.

After having served the citizens of Arizona for 33 years I've accumulated a wealth of knowledge in a vast array of legal areas. I would like to help you to assert and protect your legal rights.

Thank you for the time you've taken to read this.
