About

I strive to provide outstanding representation based on my experience and commitment to personal service. I have relationships with experts in various fields — private investigators, toxicologists, forensic psychiatrists, polygraphers and others — who I have used to help me prepare and defend cases. I believe my representation is effective because of:

• My Experience: As a former Assistant District Attorney, I understand how a prosecutor puts a case together and how best to prepare an appropriate defense. I understand how the process works and can “speak the language” when negotiating before trial. If the proper resolution is a negotiated guilty plea, I am often able to work with prosecutors to obtain the best possible result. However I am always fully prepared to take the matter to trial. This is critically important; there is no doubt that prosecutors know when a defense attorney is reluctant to take a matter to trial and will be less likely to come off their position.
• My Partnership with My Clients: Every client is my partner in his or her defense. I am dedicated to my clients’ well-being and obtaining a result that is best for them. It is critically important to be honest and straightforward at all times and treat every client with respect. This means answering questions, keeping clients informed and returning phone calls and e-mails promptly.
