Why My Experience Matters

Having served both as a prosecutor and as a peace officer, I bring a perspective that few attorneys can match. I understand how investigations are conducted, how prosecutors build their cases, and what officers face in critical moments.

This dual experience allows me to anticipate challenges, craft stronger defenses, and provide representation that truly understands the realities of law enforcement work.

Time is Critical in These Situations

The actions you take in the first 24-48 hours can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Contact me immediately for a confidential consultation.
