Know. Understand. Believe

I know that innocent people get caught up in the system.

I understand the devastating consequences a criminal record can have on your life.

I know that police and prosecutors make mistakes.

I know that good people can make bad choices.

I believe that people are more than the worst thing they’ve ever done.

I recognize that your case is about more than what takes place inside the walls of the courtroom.

My clients are more than a case number to me. I care deeply about them and their families.

When your life is at stake, you deserve to be represented by someone who cares about what happens to you.

The criminal justice system is more than my job, it’s my hobby and my obsession. It’s what I read about on vacation, it’s what I think about when I’m walking my dog, it’s the charitable causes I support.  

I count among my friends some of the most brilliant legal minds in criminal defense. I am never afraid to seek out their advice and seek input on case strategy.

A lot of defense attorneys started as prosecutors and then switched to defense. I have never prosecuted anyone. I have dedicated my career to keeping people out of prison.
