      Biography

      In my past life as a former prosecutor, I prosecuted literally thousands of traffic cases. I know the ins and outs of the system, where things can go wrong and exactly how harsh traffic penalties can be. After spending years as a prosecutor, I got tired of being on that side of things. I got tired of being the “bad guy” and having to charge people ridiculous fines.

      As an attorney, I have worked in the areas of corporate law, criminal defense and divorce, but the majority of my experience is with traffic violations. As a prosecutor in the Pulaski County, Illinois courthouse, I prosecuted thousands of traffic tickets and learned the ins and outs of the system.

      Now, I work to make sure that people get through their legal issues with as little stress and anxiety as possible. I know how stressful it can be. If you hire me to defend your case, you can be assured that you are in good hands.

      I am very laid back and like all of my clients to know that I am approachable and truly care about your concerns. My goal is to serve my clients to the best of my ability.
