Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I am the oldest of 7 kids who was born in the house my father was born in.  I have been a criminal defense lawyer since graduatting law school. 

I am an active sports fan who likes staying in shape, playing sports and attending them.  Included in my interests are the symphony and arts in Cincinnati.  My children are all grown so I try to "give back" by reffing club soccer in our community.   

My greatest professional achievemnet is being a founding member of the Ohio Innocence Project which has done so much to improve the justice system in Ohio in addition to freeing 30 people from wrongful convictions in Ohio. 

We work with clients to identify their goals and then work hard to help them achieve them.
