About Justin
Biography
I am a 2016 graduate of Capital University Law School. Before starting my legal career I spent eight years in the US Marine Corps. I believe everyone is entitled to adequate legal representation. The law can oftentimes be complex and confusing. I ensure that my clients are aware of their rights, and presented with the best legal options for their situation. My areas of practice include family law, juvenile, criminal defense, and civil litigation. My philosophy is to provide clients with agressive legal representation at an affordable price.
