Criminal Defense

Let's face it: Bad things happen to good people.  Whether you or a family member is a first-time offender, someone struggling with a substance abuse addiction, or one of those people whom trouble just seems to seek out, chances are I prosecuted the same type of offense on multiple occasions over my decade as an Assistant District Attorney, and will know the best strategy to secure for you the best outcome in your case.
