I’m a trial attorney representing clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with a focus on high-stakes criminal defense, including federal charges and serious felony matters. My approach is simple: be prepared, be honest, and treat clients with the respect they deserve—no matter what they’re facing.
Clients who work with me can expect clear communication, realistic expectations, and legal strategies grounded in facts—not fear, fluff, or guesswork. I don’t just tell people what they want to hear. I tell them what they need to hear so we can build trust and move forward as a team.
Every case I take is approached with care, discretion, and an aggressive commitment to protecting my clients’ rights. Whether we’re fighting in court or negotiating a resolution, my job is to make sure your voice is heard—and your future defended.
