Aggressive, Experienced Lawyer Fighting for You!I am an aggressive, experienced criminal defense lawyer. I handle all types of criminal cases including but not limited to: traffic tickets, assaults, domestic assaults, sexual assaults, OWI, public intoxication, drug charges, federal drug charges, federal child pornography charges, federal medicare fraud, state & federal gun charges, harassment, stalking, burglary, robbery, forgery, theft, fraud, murder etc. I also handle state and federal appeals from all types of criminal cases. My goal is to get you the best possible outcome on your case. This involves a skilled evaluation of the charges, the evidence and available strategies. I will never back down from a fight and I will never give in to a prosecutor. I will always act with your best interests in mind. I promise to communicate with you. My efforts, my worry, my time are spent working to find you the best outcome. That is my one and only goal. I grew up on Des Moines' South Side, attended Dowling Catholic and Saint Louis University. In 2007 I graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law. I have worked for the Federal Public Defender Northern District of California (San Francisco Division), the Federal Public Defender Southern District of Iowa, and the Hillsborough County Public Defender, Tampa, FL. Like every great trial lawyer, I relish the opportunity to try a case to a jury or argue it before the Iowa Supreme Court and Iowa Court of Appeals. Let me put my skill and experience to work for you.

- Q. What are the charges on a felon in possession of a firearm in his dwellings in state of Iowa first time
- A: I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. I assume that is two counts of felon in possession of a fire arm in federal district court in Iowa? The penalties depend on prior criminal history. The federal sentencing guidelines are complicated and you will need excellent representation.
- Q. is having a prior possession charge probable cause to search with k9 on licence plate light stop in iowa
- A: Not necessarily and perhaps not even likely. This of course is a fact dependent question and not answerable without more information. However, if that is the only reason to stop and/or bring a K-9 to the car you may have a good motion to suppress.
- Q. If I was arrested at night on a warrant that had been canceled that morning do they have the right to search my vehicle
- A: There is no general search incident to arrest exception to the warrant requirement in Iowa thanks to recent decisions of the Iowa Supreme Court. So, unless the police had a warrant to search your vehicle, and that warrant was valid, then it is possible it was a bad search.
