CRIMINAL DEFENSE
IF YOU’VE BEEN CHARGED WITH A CRIME, THE STATE IS TRYING TO TAKE SOMETHING FROM YOU: YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR FUTURE, OR BOTH.
Criminal defense is the work of standing between you and that power.
I defend people charged with serious offenses by scrutinizing the state’s case, challenging unlawful conduct, and protecting constitutional rights at every stage of the process from investigation through resolution.
WHEN CHARGES ARE FILED, THE IMBALANCE OF POWER IS IMMEDIATE.
Prosecutors control resources, timelines, and leverage. Defense exists to slow that momentum, test the evidence, and force the state to prove its case lawfully.
That work includes:
Examining how evidence was obtained
Challenging unlawful searches, seizures, or interrogations
Assessing risk and negotiating strategically when appropriate
Preparing cases thoroughly when litigation is necessary
I approach this work with care, discipline, and an understanding of how cases actually move through the system, not just how they’re supposed to.
THIS IS A DELIBERATELY FOCUSED PRACTICE. I TAKE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CASES SO I CAN GIVE EACH ONE THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES.
I take seriously the trust you place in me at one of the most vulnerable moments of your life.
