In order to be successful in the courtoom, the attorney must be able to think on his or her feet and be more prepared than the other side.  As a former prosecutor and then criminal defense attorney I have been in the courtroom and trying cases my entire career.  I know how to adequately prepare myself, my witnesses, and my case for trial.  Hard work and substantial preparation are essential to successful litigaiton.  I value the importantce of open and transparent communication with my clients.  I also prioritize professionalism among my colleages in the legal community.

I teach at Miami University and I coach Miami's nationally-ranked mock trial team.  I enjoy trial work and teaching trial techniques to my students.
