The focus of my practice is criminal defense and family law in state and federal court.  I am a member of Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Panel, where I have the privilege and opportunity to be assigned by the U.S. District Court to represent indigent individuals charged with crimes in federal court.  In 2008, I was instrumental in the development and implementation of the Sparrow Project.  The Sparrow Project was initially granted funded by H. 859 (The Justice Reinvestment Pilot Screening Project) and continues to provide community based treatment plans and support to individuals while their criminal charges are pending in the Criminal Division of Windsor Superior Court.  I am currently a member of the team that oversees the operation of the Sparrow Project.  I also helped develop and start Vermont’s first and only DUI Treatment Court, and represent participants in the treatment team and systems meetings.
