My clients come from all walks of life, because bad things can happen to just about anyone, no matter who they are. And when they do, I am here to fight for them, to see them through hard times.
I try to take a personal interest in every person who calls me for help. When people ask me about a criminal case they have or a criminal charge a loved one is facing, I do my best to make sure they do not feel like they are just a case number or just another "defendant." I make the time to really listen to their side of things, their perspective, and their concerns. I believe it is important to keep people well informed about their legal rights and options. I do my best to stay in touch, and I welcome my clients to do the same. They know that I am there for them 100%.
