Personal Information
When I first decided I wanted a legal career, I knew that it would be in defending people accused of crimes. Growing up I witnessed so many injustices. People that were wrongly accused and people that although they had broken the law, the punishment they were facing seemed so severe in accordance with the crime. I knew that defending the accused was where my talent would be. I knew this in my heart and soul.
When I first decided I wanted a legal career, I knew it would be in defending people accused of crimes. Growing up, I witnessed many injustices in our system. I saw people who were wrongly accused; I saw people, that although they had committed a crime, the punishment they faced was far too severe. I knew in that moment that my talent lied in defending these people. Every person deserves the best defense available.
After I graduated from law school, I immediately started practicing law. I slowly developed a string team of like-minded professionals to work with my team giving my clients the benefit of knowledge and expertise. I work with experts in all fields; gang experts, private defense investigators, neuropsychological forensic experts, hand-writing experts, ballistic experts, and so many more. I have teamed up with the best for my clientele.
I have developed a great reputation not only with my peers, but with judges and the deputy district attorneys as well. I am, by nature and design, a trial attorney. However, there are times in which a plea agreement is a better option for my client. Because I have a great rapport with the judges and deputy district attorneys, I am able to make them see the person behind the charge. This helps them to see my client rather than just a crime, allowing for the lessening of a sentence in many cases.
I am a trial attorney and therefore, I am always ready for trial. I am well versed on your case and prepared for all possibilities. Our witnesses are ready and comfortable testifying. It is a great honor to stand before a jury and make them see my client as one of their peers, not just a person charged with a crime. I take representation of my clients very seriously.
You may wonder what type of cases I handle? Well, I handle cases from simple assault to high-profile murder cases. All my clients deserve and receive the same dedicated, professional and passionate defense, regardless of the severity of their case. I treat all cases the same, as I know that no matter how “small” the case is, to my client, it is their life! I will fight with all that I have!
I believe what distinguishes me from other criminal defense attorneys is my availability to my clients. This is a scary time, no matter the charge. I stay on top of contacting my clients and make sure they are informed. I don’t make promises I cannot keep; I know that my clients need to know the honest truth of what their case looks like and what they are facing. I don’t play games and tell my clients what they want to hear; I tell them what is reality. I am a straight shooter.
In my career, I have represented people that are innocent of the crime they have been charged with. I have represented those who are guilty of the crime they are charged with. My client deserve the best defense, regardless of their guilt or innocence!
Whether you decide to retain my firm, or another firm, make sure that you are comfortable with the attorney you choose. This is YOUR life! Make sure your attorney is honest and reliable. However, most importantly, make sure your attorney believes in you and your goals!
