Specialties
Don’t let your criminal charge ruin your life! I understand you need a lawyer who can protect your rights, make sure you are treated fairly, and who knows how to get results.
I realize that right now you are probably feeling confused, angry, or somewhat fearful about what has happened to you. The process of being arrested, taken to jail, fingerprinted, and photographed was probably very dehumanizing to you. I sincerely sympathize with that.
Any time there is a criminal accusation against you the consequences can be devastating. Your freedom, drivers license and or employment may be at risk. I also understand that it is even more difficult when there are language and cultural barriers that can affect the outcome of your case.
I have over 19 years experience in Criminal Defense and serious crimes in particular. I have always dedicated my practice exclusively to defending the accused.
