Due in large part to the success of the Capital Defender offices ( no death sentences in the last 11 years) the death penalty was abolished this year and my career of 30+ years as a Public Defender and Capital Defender came to an end. As Capital Defender I led a defense team that successfully represented over 50 clients charged with capital murder none of whom received a death sentence. As a Public Defender I represented people charged with offenses ranging from trespassing to murder in both bench and jury trials. I have extensive jury trial experience, am a skilled courtroom advocate and persuasive litigator. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to defend those who the government seeks to fine or imprison.
