I was born in the midwest and have lived in various cities around the Western United States. Before practicing in Bend, OR, I was a public defender for 7 years at the Metropolitan Public Defender Services, Inc. in Portland, OR, a nationally recognized agency that has a reputation for solid defense work. There, I handled everything from simple DUII's through sex offenses and death penalty cases. Here are links to articles from a few of the cases I have had the privilege to work on.
