Criminal Defense

There are extreme emotions involved in being charged with a crime and having to retain a defense attorney. There can be a fear of the underlying charges, a lack of familiarity with the criminal justice system or a lack of information on the type of help you require for handling your situation. Selecting the right lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will make in your defense. The relationship and attitude of the lawyer and staff will be a critical factor in your defense. The trial experience and competence of your counsel is, without a doubt, the most critical aspect of your selection.

I have long considered it a great honor to stand next to my clients at their most desperate hour. I have represented clients, for three decades, in defense of serious criminal allegations, using every protection afforded under the Constitution. I have never lost sight of the fact that the role I fill serves as a vital barrier between an accused and a conviction. I have great respect for the immense responsibility I undertake when a client makes the decision to hire my firm. I will not shrink from my duty to zealously defend my clients at this most critical time of their lives.

In addition to criminal defense, I aggressively counsel on behalf of my clients in other practice areas. Be assured that your legal defense is my utmost concern.
