Former Prosecutor on Your Side. Personal & Passionate Advocate Who Knows the System.
A DUI is a serious offense; your freedom is at stake. You need an experienced attorney who will aggressively fight for you. I have handled hundreds of DUI cases and understand the ins & out of DUI defense, I can help you navigate the legal process.
Speeding tickets can affect your license, insurance rates, and even your freedom. Don’t just mail the ticket in or plea guilty without the advice of counsel. I can help.
Your best defense is retaining a skilled lawyer to help you navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system. As a former prosecutor, I know every angle to look for to defend your case and fight for the best outcome for your case.
We all make mistakes and the law provides you with options to make sure those missteps don’t follow you for the rest of your life. Filing an expungement vary by location and is not as simple as filling out forms, a hearing before a judge may be required, which I have conducted in Illinois.
