Attorney Profile
As a defense attorney, I often work with individuals facing life changing choices. I have helped clients overcome simple traffic tickets, and protected clients from convictions that would have left them in prison for years. I have assisted clients facing charges of murder, assault, theft, DUIs, sexual conduct, drugs, and everything in between.
