I am dedicated to providing aggressive legal advocacy in a client centered environment. I am a passionate and committed lawyer but I also come from a strong customer service background. Having gone through my own ups and downs when I was younger I understand how intimidating the legal process can be and I understand how vulnerable my clients feel when they are faced with challenging legal problems.
I will give you the best legal defense possible and I will do so in a non-judgmental and informative enviroment. My goal is to put you in the best position possible so that you can move forward with your lfie and ultimately put your legal problems far behind you.
