If I take your case, you are not just a number to me.  I take your problems and make them mine.  I will worry for your future the same as I would my own.

I specialize in serious crimes and am first and foremost a trial lawyer.  When you walk out in that courtroom and find yourself being stared down by the prosecutor and jurors, that's when you'll know you hired the right lawyer.

Back when I was a prosecutor, I recognized the unequal treatment given to people caught up in our legal system. So I helped develop the Public Integrity unit, whose mission was to establish a watch over the police and other government officials. In my 5 years as Chief of Public Integrity, I prosecuted police officers and freed wrongfully imprisoned citizens. It was my techniques that were later copied and used in the prosecutions of bad cops in the fake drug scandal and in the DNA exonerations of wrongfully jailed citizens.

I specialize in serious crimes. Because I'm a serious trial lawyer, and the prosecutors know that, they tend to make better plea offers to my clients in hopes of avoiding trial.  A few of my trials are listed below:
