I believe that everyone should have quality legal representation regardless of what led them to walk into my office. Every client deserves my full attention and to have questions answered, especially in times of turmoil, which is often the case after someone has been charged with a crime or involved in a serious accident. No two attorneys are alike and it is important that those in need of an attorney are aware of that. I strive to ensure that those who come to me know they are not just "hiring" me, but they are also getting someone who will stand in their corner just like a friend or family member would.
I'm passionate about criminal law and personal injury litigation and it's what drives me to ensure that no stone is left unturned and no option is left out when defending an individual accused of a crime, whether it be a minor speeding violation or a Class X violent felony. I also believe that everyone injuried in an accident should have someone who will advocate for them vigorously and with the utmost care and attention.
Knowing that everyone has an individual story and that everyone and every case are never the same, I make sure that they get a defense tailored to who they are and their specific case, which ensures an outcome that will allow them to continue their pursuits in life.
