Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

Every case is different, but my approach to each case is the same — to obtain the absolute best result for the client. If the case is in its investigation stage, then the goal is to explore every avenue to prevent any criminal charges against the client. This website lists Representative Cases for the firm. However, that list represents clients who have taken their cases to trial and won. Many of our clients are never charged, and I consider that a better result than a Not Guilty verdict at trial. For obvious privacy reasons, clients who have never been charged do not want their names posted on our website.

If you are facing criminal charges, ultimately it is your choice of whether you want to negotiate an agreement with the prosecution or take your case to trial. If you decide to go to trial, I have a strong record in front of juries. My clients have been found Not Guilty in state and federal courts, in cases ranging from murder, to firearms, to fraud.
