Juvenile Law 75%

Representing youth in criminal, education and family matters is the focus of my practice. I have not only represented hundreds of youth in criminal court, but I have traveled the state and the country to speak on topics relating to excellence in the representation of children.

18 years | 400 cases

75%
Criminal Defense 10%

I was a public defender for almost five years before joining private practice. I have tried dozens of cases to both juries and to judges. I have a vibrant and creative motions practice and am very familiar with the local criminal courts

20 years | 1,725 cases

10%
DUI and DWI 5%

I have tried several DUI matters before a jury and settled well over a hundred. I know the law, the practice and the strategies.

19 years | 200 cases

5%
Education 5%

My practice in juvenile court exposed major deficits in both the mainstream and special education system when it comes to advocacy for youth education rights. I am committed to developing youth education advocacy as a primary practice area.

5%
Violent Crime 5%

I have spent over half my practice representing adults and juveniles charged with violent crimes. I am non-judgmental, supportive and creative no matter what you have been charged with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
