Decades of success is not easily overlooked. I am focused on delivering results. I have been practicing law in State and Federal courts for more than 20 years and have obtained a vast amount of experience as a result of many courtroom battles. Recent victories include acquittals for possessing firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking (fed case#1:22-cr-169), retaliation against an informant causing injury (fed case#1:20-cr-009); reduced sentence sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking (state case#23-1409FC). You're innocent until proven guilty. It's not a crime to be accused of a crime - Don't Settle.

I've handled a wide array of criminal charges, including:

Firearm Offenses
Drug distribution overdose
Drug conspiracy
Bank fraud
Armed Robbery
Child sexual abuse
Felony drunk driving
Murder
Stalking
Terrorism-related charges
Uttering and publishing

I grew up in Gary, Indiana (about 28 miles southeast of Chicago). Violent crime was commonplace in my childhood neighborhood. After graduating high school I left my old neighborhood and joined the U.S. Navy where I served six years on active duty. Afterward, I attended and graduated from the University of California, at Berkeley, Berkeley, California. From there it was on to Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan. My early life experiences have shaped my perspective of the criminal justice system. I have personally seen what it means to have a lawyer who (1) understands your family dynamics, (2) understands environmental barriers, and (3) will fight. I understand what it is like to be accused of a crime and to find yourself in the crosshairs of the police.

I've built a reputation for delivering results for my clients. I bring a disciplined approach and steadfast commitment to work each day.
