After being charged with a felony or misdemeanor, you may not know where to turn to find a qualified and experienced criminal defense attorney help. The yellow pages are full of attorneys, but the ads only tell you what they want you to think. Knowing what kind of experience and legal skills your defense attorney has is extremely important.

My experience means that I offer the kind of aggressive and persuasive representation that will make a difference in your case, whether negotiating with the prosecutor to resolve your case without a trial, or fighting for your innocence in front of a judge or jury.
