I am dedicated to providing an aggressive, cutting-edge defense to your criminal case. With my 32 years of practice I have tried hundreds of cases and have been on both sides of the courtroom. First as a state and later as a federal prosecutor, and for the past 17 years as a defense attorney. I know from my own experience what can make a difference with a prosecutor as a case proceeds through the system. And because of this, I believe in a proactive approach, which has enabled me to successfully avoid the indictment of a client, or to have a serious charge reduced to a lesser offense based on evidence, which I have been able to develop. Over the years I have also built a relationship with many of the top forensic experts from all over the country, as well as investigators, accountants, polygraphers, accident reconstructionists, and former state and federal law enforcement officers, whom I can call on to assist me in defense of your case. This is an invaluable network of contacts based on professional respect and built on many years of courtroom experience. Let me put my experience and contacts to work on your case.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
