Criminal defense (including traffic and DUI cases): I work to provide zealous representation to my clients. I am not afraid to take criminal cases to trial. I have had specialized trial practice training from the Trial Lawyers College. This training focuses on trying cases to juries using persuasion methods that have been proven to win. I will thoroughly research the laws applicable to your case and I will keep you informed of the various options that you might have available.
I will do my best to win for you. If that is not possible, I will do all I can to get you the best result possible in your circumstances. College and University Criminal Law: I routinely represent students charged with crimes. These usually involve drugs or alcohol, but sometimes can extend to assaults or sex crime allegations. Family law: I have been practicing family law, in one form or another, for most of my legal career.
