As a former public defender, I am well versed in criminal litigation and defense. At this point in my career, I am very selective about the criminal matters that I take on for representation, however I maintain a criminal practice at all times because I believe in the protections and rights our Constitution provides.

Believe it or not, my estate planning practice led me to clients that needed probate litigation, which led me deeper into the world of civil litigation. I understand the process and have handled a wide array of civil matters all the way through trial. While I also remain selective about the civil matters that I take on for representation, I do maintain a civil practice at all times, though sometimes this necessitates that I co-counsel with other attorneys.
