Practice Areas

Criminal Defense 40%

Includes defending all kinds of crimes in Pennsylvania state courts. In my almost 11 years as a prosecutor in Bucks County, I handled all kinds of cases but specialized in firearm, drug, DUI, and homicide by vehicle cases.

40%
Expungement 25%

Pennsylvania allows you to have certain arrest or conviction records expunged or sealed, but has exceptions and prohibitions. I can help you accomplish a fresh start by pursuing expungement or limited-access sealing orders if you may be eligible.

25%
DUI and DWI 20%

A DUI arrest has serious implications for your future, even if you haven't been in trouble before. I know how to fight a DUI, but I also know how to go for a "soft landing" if you are interested in negotiating a plea bargain for reduced penalties.

20%
Cannabis Law 5%

As a drug-crime prosecutor, I frequently advised police officers how to interpret PA's confusing MMA (Medical Marijuana Act) and how to apply it in the field, and wrote a memo to the police chiefs addressing FAQ's to be disseminated to all officers.

5%
Juvenile Law 5%

Although juvenile court aims to rehabilitate and not necessarily "punish" the child, juveniles still need a strong advocate like me in court to make sure that whatever's being suggested or done is in their best interest.

5%
Speeding and Traffic Ticket 5%

Traffic tickets can put undesirable points on your license and can even lead to your license being suspended or revoked. I can help navigate the Vehicle Code and advocate for a result that minimizes or eliminates any impact on a driver's license.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
