I became an attorney because I believe passionately in the Constitution of this great country. If you are charged with a crime then you have rights. Period.
People died for those rights. I'm a Navy veteran myself, and I didn't spend all that time on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf to live in a country where the DA just steamrolls all over American citizens.
Your rights mean nothing if you don't exercise them. I say stand on your rights.
It's never easy, but there's one thing I know for sure is that you gotta fight and fight hard. I know how to manage criminal cases. I know how to pick them apart way before we even get to court. And when we do go to trial there are few better than me.
I handle all criminal cases, including domestic violence, DUIs, drug cases, murder, robbery, you name it. I also handle domestic violence restraining orders, contempt of court proceedings, and so forth.
I hope you never have to call me, but if you do, I'll have your back all the way.

Not sure who the other reviews are from, mom? dad? random computers with bogus names?
WOW! I CAN'T believe this dude has a high rating!!! My 'case' was postponed over and over and the only communication was when I initiated it! Then, when it finally went to court, he EMAILS me the 'results'. I texted him that I needed him to explain and that's when I found out he did NOTHING FOR ME...

Do not recommend him. He made everything sound great over the phone consultation. Got an extension for my court date. Did let him know to call me before the court to explain the situation and what I was asking. Not once did I get a phone call to discuss what he was going to do it court for me.

I didn't think it was possible. 97k in back child support dismissed!!!
I must admit, coming into my 2 complex cases for child support arrears and contempt charges, I thought I was undoubtedly looking at some time in jail.

The judge granted the motion and dismissed the case. The DA then refiled, and I set for another preliminary hearing and motion to suppress. Again, the judge granted the motion and dismissed the case.
Not guilty.
