Virginia Beach Police Officer 1992-2007
My 15 years as a Virginia Beach Police Officer, a degree in psychology and another in law, have giving me a unique background to successfully defend hundreds of clients each year in courtrooms throughout Hampton Roads and Southeastern Virginia. I understand how the prosecution works to bring a case against you and this knowledge has given me a distinct advantage, with proven results, when defending my clients against criminal and traffic matters.
