My goal is to provide the absolute best representation possible.

If there is a witness or evidence in Antarctica that will help your case, I will find that witness or evidence.

Individualized Representation

As I developed my practice, I began hiring attorneys, paralegals and staff to help me. No matter how competent the people that I hired, I found myself dissatisfied with this style of practice.

There is never a charge for an initial consultation and fee quote. I am proud to say that in over 30 years of private practice, I have never had a dispute with a client over a fee.

My Practice Areas

You face the limitless influence and resources the government can use against you. Contrary to public opinion, appeals and post-conviction relief are usually inadequate to “fix” an injustice. Criminal defense is simply one of those things that must be done right the first time.

My approach to criminal defense is based upon a recognition of one essential fact – NOTHING is more important in your life than defending your criminal case – protecting your reputation, your assets and your freedom. When your freedom is at stake, you simply must have an attorney that will commit totally to your defense. I will vigorously assert and defend your rights. We have an outstanding reputation built on years of experience. I am the only attorney at my law firm, and I am backed by a strong staff and a network of experts. You will never be handed off to an associate or junior attorney at my office; you will have my personal attention from your first consultation all the way through to the resolution of your case. We have handled thousands of state and federal courts.
