I know what it means to work hard for my clients, whether its long days and nights working on a client's, factual, legal, and/or scientific defenses for a Criminal or DUI case, or making a house call to talk to a family about an estate that we are working on together.  I take the time to explain my clients cases to them, in a very up front and foward manner.  I want them to fully understand what is going on, because that is what I would want if I was in their situations. 

I attended PSU Altoona, and during that time I obtained an Intership with President Judge Kopriva.  I then was accepted into PSU Dickinson School of Law, at which time I returned through an externship as a Law Clerk for President Judge Kopriva in Blair County.  During my time at PSU Altoona and through law school I continued to work full time to support my family.  Upon completing Law School and passing the Bar I was presented with the opportunity to join the firm of Manchester and Associates and this is where I practice today. 

My work, schooling, and family have given me a unique perspective on the law.  I know how hard it is to reach for your goals.  I also understand how quickly those dreams can fall apart.  Thats why I work hard to ensure that my clients rights are upheld in my criminal cases. In my estates I handle them professionally and respectfully, to help the heirs that are left through the lose of a loved one.
