My entire career has been dedicated to defending those accused of crimes, DWI, serious motor vehicle violations, and the rights of victims of crimes and accidents. I have prosecuted, defended, or appealed cases ranging from municipal court matters to more serious crimes including drug offenses and murder. I am passionate about providing personalized, thorough, and effective representation to individuals in crisis.
