Win rate
I have been practicing Criminal Defense for over 23 years. During that period of time, I have encountered many different types of cases and factual scenarios. Every case is unique with specific facts and details that affect each individual person. An experienced lawyer needs to have all of the facts and circumstances in order to be able to offer their legal opinions on a particular case. To that end, we offer a free consultation so that you may confidentially discuss the facts and circumstances of your case with a lawyer.
Put my many years of experience to work for you!
