DCD LAW is committed to serving you and your loved ones. I handle all of my cases personally, and I am always easily accessible to my clients.

As your attorney, I understand the difficult time you and your family may be experiencing while awaiting the final disposition of your matter. There is never a case too small, and no case too big. I earnestly believe in building strong relationships with clients, where trust and constant communication are the pillars of the professional relationship.
My hope is that after meeting with me, you will see that my commitment to your case is unparalleled. No matter how many fingers are being pointed at you by the government and police, with all their infinite resources arrayed against you and trying to lock you up, I will fight for you.
