I represent clients in the state courts of Florida in complex appeals. I have personally handled over 200 appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and have over 30 published opinions in the federal reporter system.
Licensed to practice criminal defense in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, I defend people facing a wide range of criminal charges in state and federal courts.
In addition to my criminal law practice I also handle civil fraud matters for my clients. As a federal prosecutor for over 20 years I have handled numerous fraud cases with both criminal and civil components.
