An Experienced Prosecutor, A Dedicated Defense Lawyer

Before starting my defense practice, I served as a prosecutor as an Deputy Attorney General for the State of Delaware for eight years. In prosecuting nearly every type of misdemeanor and felony charge, I saw many successful prosecution and defense efforts. I also saw many weak cases that were brought to trial despite their weaknesses. I learned how a prosecutor evaluates the strength of a case, and how a determined defense lawyer can prevail even when facing a strong prosecution effort.

In my criminal defense practice, I put these lessons to work for my clients. Because I know how a prosecutor evaluates and prepares a case, I understand how to identify the weaknesses which can lie beneath the surface of the case.

Minimizing The Consequences Of A Misdemeanor

I believe in working to obtain the very best outcome possible for my clients, and overcoming the charge if that can be accomplished. I have extensive experience as a prosecutor and defense attorney in the evaluation and negotiation of plea offers and agreements, to minimize the consequences of a conviction.

In certain circumstances, even conviction on a misdemeanor charge can be avoided or the consequences minimized through alternative sentencing programs such as the First Offenders Program and Probation before Judgment. I have a working understanding of these programs and what it takes to obtain these outcomes through negotiation with the prosecution and the court.
