OUI (DUI) Defense ▪ Drug Charges ▪ Domestic Violence ▪ Violent Felonies

Criminal Defense: When defending a criminal case, whether the charge is driving under the influence or a simple assault, it is absolutely imperative the prosecutor understands that the defense attorney has the skills necessary to go to trial.

My career as an Assistant District Attorney taught me the valuable trial skills that many criminal defense attorneys lack. I have spent many hours in the courtroom, and I can win in a trial. Whether you are facing DUI charges, or drug possession charges, I will aggressively defend against your criminal charge.

Car Accidents ▪ Motorcycle Accidents ▪ Truck Accidents ▪Slip & Fall Injuries

Personal Injury: Injuries that result from the negligence of another deserve to be compensated. As your personal injury lawyer, I will do the research and investigation that is necessary to ensure that your case is settled to your maximum benefit.

No one should have to face a personal injury or wrongful death claim alone. I work with individuals injured in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents and provide superior counsel for families considering filling a wrongful death suit.

Divorce ▪ Child Custody ▪ Child Support ▪ Spousal Support ▪ Parenting Time

Divorce & Family Law: Marital breakdown is among the most difficult issues an attorney can handle. Most clients seeking divorce have lost a nurturing relationship, only to be replaced by seemingly endless legal bickering. Depending on the length of the marriage, extent of assets, and presence of children (even from an earlier marriage), splitting up may be complicated. Where children are involved, courts always defer to their best interest, vulnerable as they are. Regarding division of assets, support orders, and custody, the children's best interest will rule.

As your divorce and family law lawyer, I will take the time to listen to you, so that I may better advise you as to your best legal options. Your case will not be handed off to a paralegal, nor will it be contracted out to a “volume” business attorney. If you are facing divorce or a child custody, marital property or spousal support dispute, do not attempt to go it alone.

I can also fulfill your estate planning needs by drafting wills, trusts and healthcare directives. If you need assistance protecting your future, my experience will be an asset to get the job done.
