From an early age I knew that my life would be about protecting those who needed protecting. Whether it was standing up to playground bullies, speaking out for those who couldn't speak for themselves, or aggressively pursuing any and all avenues towards victory, I have always answered the call.
Having a legal issue is never fun. It may mean that you have been accused, hurt, injured or wronged in some way. It could also mean that you are going through one of the most difficult times of your life. I understand how confused you may be feeling, and am here to protect your rights and to fight for you.
I take an honest and straightforward approach to practicing law. My years of trial experience and advocacy will serve you well and reassure you that if no agreement can be reached, I will fight for every last bit of relief you are entitled to. With my background in litigation, criminal justice and political science, I am more than prepared to take on any and all legal challenges or issues you may have.
I will provide you with an initial consultation to see if and how I can serve you. The law can be complicated and intimidating. I will guide you through every step of your case, keeping you informed, making sure you understand exactly what is going on, and advising you on every decision that needs to be made. I will keep you involved and at the very center of my attention. I am here to serve you and am proud to vigorously defend the rights of my clients. Call today and schedule a consultation.
