I have worked as a Deputy Sheriff, and as a Deputy District Attorney, and now as a criminal defense attorney. This give s me a unique perspective on cases and police reports, since I understand how officers view a case as well as how they write reports to cover up something, or when something you would expect to see, is missing.  I approach each case as though I am representing a family member, and I try to see the case from my client’s perspective as compared to the police reports and then after reviewing my clients record, I will have discussions with the prosecutor and the court and see if we can reach a resolution that will be a fair resolution to the case, or if this case has sufficient. deficiencies, then I am happy to go  to Trial on the case.  I enjoy going to trial and forcing the prosecutor to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, to a jury of 12 independent jurors.  I have conducted over 100 Jury Trials, in my career, and I still feel that a jury trial is the best possible protection we have against a wrongful conviction,

Finally, as the owner of the firm, I really enjoy working with attorneys in the firm to ensure they have all the training that they need to fight for their clients, but also to learn from them and to exchange ideas and strategies as we discuss open cases in the firm.  I enjoy working with smart empathetic team members who are doing all that they can to help our clients get through very challenging times.
