I am the Attorney that client's rely on and TRUST. I know what it feels like not to be able to trust your own lawyer. I also understand the need for confidentiality in all privileged communication. A key component of my representing a client is the need for thorough preparation at each phase of the litigation, complete dedication, and continued communication and TRUST. I will never refer my clients to another attorney whom they have never met nor do not trust. I will map out a strategy with each of my clients and follow through on every aspect. TRUST, tenacity, and preparedness are what my client's deserve, and it is what they are given. I have litigated literally hundreds of Jury and Bench trials in State and Federal courts, and have practiced before the United States Supreme Court. I will take your case to the United States Supreme Court in pursuit of justice, if warranted! Call me if I may assist you in any criminal or civil matter. White Collar criminal defense, Computer Crimes, Drug Crimes, DUI/DWI and Restaurant Personal Injury are where my experience lies. The initial phone consultation is FREE. TRUST your attorney.

I could recommend a squirrel to have better consistency with handling your concerns. No return phone calls, lies about what they did do, and a very argumentative assistant Lynne. This is unbelievable service that you would imagine could be out of a movie. I am thinking a pack of untrained monkeys ...
