I am a father of four (a daughter who is a nurse and triplet boys, two in college and one in the military) and married for over twenty-five years to the love of my life.  I taught high school Sunday school and have been active in our Methodist church for over thirty years, volunteering at a community outreach program and counseling high school youth in our church.  I also teach trial skills to students in both law school and high school mock trial teams.  I have been a professional actor in a local theater company and have enjoyed acting as a hobby (both in and out of the courtroom). I love Practicing law and I love helping people with their cases.

Professionally I have handled over four thousand cases and hundreds of trials, ranging from simple shoplifting to multiple homicide cases. I practice in both federal and state courts in both the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. Although every case is different and every client is unique, over the years I've developed knowledge and expertise to give each client the help and advice for quality representation. While I can offer no promises for a particular outcome in advance, the one promise I always feel confident in offering is trying my best and zealous advocacy for each and every client. That I promise without reservation.
