I am a life-long resident of Northwest Indiana and I attended Valparaiso University's Law School. I have been practicing law for 7 years and worked as a deputy prosecuting attorney before opening my law firm. That means I have a lot of courtroom experience and will be comfortable being Your Voice in court. I have practiced law in Lake County, Porter County, LaPorte County, Jasper County, Starke County & Tippecanoe County throughout my career.
The benefit of being a former deputy prosecuting attorney is that I have significant trial experience. In 2024 I went to trial on six (6) murder cases, as well as completed other trials in my career. This means I know how to present complex legal issues before a jury when representing my clients. This trial experience helps give me a competitive edge in negotiating cases on behalf of my clients - both criminal and personal injury cases. However, if we (my client and myself) do not believe negotiations are going the way we like, then we will go to trial to present the case we believe in to a jury and/or judge.
Every case is different. Every case deserves the highest level of due diligence. When I take on a new case, I review every piece of evidence so that I can give you informed legal advice. I also believe in a patient approach where I will take the time to answer all of your questions. My goal is to make sure you know how your case will impact your life, that means: Career impact, driving privileges, right to own a firearm, etc. We will decide how to proceed on your case as a team once we have gone over the facts and evidence of your case.

Took my money to file trademarks. Promised to keep me in the loop on things. After paying and filing, won't answer a single email or give me any update. Emailed over and over again and still no response. It's been 10 months since I've heard from him.
