My Approach

How I Develop a Strong, Customized Defense Strategy Designed to Protect Your Record, Preserve Your Freedom, and Secure Your Future

Immediate Investigation

Time is critical in criminal cases. I begin investigating immediately, preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying weaknesses in the prosecution's case before they can be lost or forgotten.

Challenging the Evidence

I scrutinize every piece of evidence against you. Was it obtained legally? Is it reliable? Can it be challenged? I file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence and challenge unreliable testimony or forensic analysis.

Strategic Defense Planning

Every case is unique. I develop a customized defense strategy based on the specific facts, evidence, and circumstances of your case. Your defense is tailored to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

Aggressive Negotiation

When negotiation is appropriate, I leverage my knowledge of local prosecutors and courts to secure the best possible plea agreement – whether that's reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or case dismissal.

Trial Ready

I'm always prepared to take your case to trial. Prosecutors know I won't back down, which often results in better plea offers. But if trial is necessary, you can count on aggressive advocacy in the courtroom.
