A Former Prosecutor, a Tenacious Defense Lawyer
Prior to opening my own criminal law practice, I worked for many years in the criminal justice system ― first as a probation/parole officer and then as deputy attorney general. I learned valuable knowledge and strategies from some of the best prosecutors and defense attorneys. I also gained a realistic understanding of what is and what is not possible in our court system.
As a prosecutor, I tried hundreds of defendants accused of every type of misdemeanor and felony. I understand how the other side works. As a criminal defense attorney, I use my knowledge of the criminal justice system to fight for justice for my clients.
