Biography
I'm a fierce competitor and do not like to lose. I will treat you or your family like you're my own and represent you or them to the best of my ability like I have done for 30+ years. I do anything from DUI cases to complex Murder cases and everything in between. Experience counts because the prosecutor knows that I have no hesitancy in going to trial if the situation arises.
