I have practiced law in several jurisdictions including Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. I focus my practice on helping families through difficult periods. I have extensive experience in family law, juvenile law and crimnal law. I have tried numerous jury trials as well as bench trials. My experience as a former public defender enables me to evaluate cases and advise clients on the best avenue to pursue their matters.
Since I have had extensive exposure to the military, I am skilled at guiding both service members and military dependents through the process of a separation, divorce or custody proceeding. While living Naples Italy from 1998 to 2001, I was an adjunct professor for the University of Maryland University College.
My experience as an adjunct professor in the areas of paralegal studies and criminal justice gives me a unique perspective on the role of an attorney in civil or criminal matters. Whether you are seeking to resolve your matter through an uncontested divorce, a contested trial in the civil or criminal courts, I have the experience temparment and skill to resolve your matter in a reasonable and just manner. My office is located in downtown Rockville and is easily assesible by metro, bus or car.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Ms. Mitchell and I recently worked together on a modification of custody. Ms. Mitchell was a skillful advocate throughout the case and maintained a courteous and professional demeanor at all times. I hope to have the pleasure of working with her again in the near future.
