Criminal Defense

My assertive yet compassionate approach has garnered respect from opposing counsel, judges, law enforcement officers, and previous clients. I've cultivated valuable relationships with expert witnesses, court officials, and district attorneys.

Handling a range of criminal offenses, including drunk driving, drug possession, property crimes, sex crimes, white-collar crimes, domestic assault, and federal crimes, I bring a deep understanding of the opposing side's perspective. This insight allows me to proactively build defense strategies, anticipate moves, and secure advantageous positions. Recognizing the difference between a good and a bad plea bargain, I negotiate aggressively, never settling for the first offer. Your active involvement is paramount—I ensure you comprehend your rights and options in every step of your case.
