Strategic advocacy in family law and divorce
Family law disputes, including divorce, can pose emotional challenges, financial hardships and separation between loved ones. If you are facing divorce or another family law issue, it is important to protect your rights while also working towards a lasting solution. As your attorney, my goal is to provide strategic advocacy to accomplish your objectives and secure a long-term solution tailored to your family's needs.

Experienced, aggressive criminal defense
A criminal allegation can threaten your rights, land you in jail, cost you a license, and create a host of personal problems, including loss of liberty, reputation or income. Whether under investigation or already charged with a crime, it is critical to know your rights from the outset and work with an attorney who can wage a defense to dismiss charges, have a judge find you innocent, or reduce penalties in your case. As a former public defender and a defense attorney practicing since 1985, I can provide you with the experience, dedication, and skill necessary to navigate the criminal justice system. I handle all misdemeanors and some felonies, including DUI/DWI, assault and battery (simple and aggravated), breaking and entering (burglary), petty larceny, malicious wounding, simple possession of drugs, juvenile criminal law, and traffic violations.
Attorney-client collaboration focused on results
I have always used a "client-attorney collaborative model" in my relationships with clients, meaning that, while I explore with my client the consequences of taking diverse trial strategies or avenues for resolution, the client's decision and wishes are always paramount. For instance, I always have the client review a pleading or a proposal in draft form before finalizing and sending to the other side. You can trust that I will defer to your best interests and always consult you before making important decisions about the direction of your case.
