As an aggressive trial lawyer and experienced litigator, I represent clients in criminal, business, and entertainment matters. With nearly 30 years of experience, I have literally "seen it all" and am well-equipped to zealously represent my client and effectively guide them through whatever catastrophe (or routine business transaction) that confronts them. With an eye to avoiding litigation (and the resulting costs), I offer practical guidance as to whether to pursue trial or a plea bargain/settlement ("Fight or Flight"). My clients range from high-profile/high-net-worth celebrities, rockstars, and actors to public companies and small businesses, all the way to the "average Joe" who may have made a wrong decision and now faces life in prison. Entrusting your most important legal matters to me will guarantee you an aggressive attorney who listens well, pays attention to detail, is a very quick study, and is brutally effective.
