Criminal Defense 50%

Being charged with a crime can be scary. I'll help you navigate the criminal process by learning what your desired outcomes are and helping you achieve those, while making sure you know you've got an advocate by your side every step of the way.

50%
Divorce and Separation 10%

Ending a marriage can be messy, especially when dealing with property, family, and emotion. I focus on keeping your interests at the forefront, not animosity. The end of a marriage is painful enough, the divorce doesn't have to be.

Appeals 5%

Sometimes the Courts get it wrong. I can help make it right.

Constitutional 5%

You have rights, don't let them get tread on. In my community, this often occurs at education institutions. I'll make sure they meet their burden and respect your rights.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
