Common Criminal Practice Areas
Drug Dealing/Possession
These cases account for the vast majority of all state court cases (either directly or indirectly). Many drug cases involve simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time - like inside a friend’s car or apartment. Careful constitutional and procedural analysis is required to achieve a just outcome.
Sex Related Crimes
These cases are perhaps the most difficult to defend. The “system” effectively requires the accused to prove his or her innocence! An aggressive legal defense is always required.
Property Crimes/Theft
These cases often involve eyewitness testimony and/or surveillance video evidence. This evidence is sometimes questionable and requires a thorough investigative and legal analysis. These kinds of crimes primarily involve burglary or theft of property.
OWI/DUI Crimes
Driving under the influence or while intoxicated requires a strategic and knowledgeable defense. Don’t simply settle for what a breathalyzer or Intoxilyzer says. Field sobriety tests are often subjective and can be prone to error, relying heavily on the officer's opinion.
Crimes of Violence
Cases involving murder, assault, battery, or domestic abuse are often emotionally charged and challenging to defend. In many instances, self-defense is claimed, requiring strong and compelling evidence to support the argument.
White Collar Crime
Criminal intent is often the key factor in these cases, making them highly complex and requiring meticulous legal analysis. A thorough understanding of the law and attention to detail are essential to building a strong defense and addressing the unique challenges these cases present.
Client Testimony
Fairness is what justice really is.

“I am not a “high volume” (large caseload) type of criminal defense attorney. I select criminal cases that are particularly interesting to me. And I especially prefer those cases where the accused appears to have suffered an injustice. I am very passionate about protecting the legal rights of my clients…and forcing the all-powerful government to prove its “case” - fairly, and beyond a reasonable doubt. This requires hard work, a lot of time, and effective communication with my clients. I carefully research and investigate the legal and factual issues existing in my cases. My 23 years of FBI Special Agent training and experience greatly assist me in my case-related analysis. I am prepared and committed to represent the accused in serious, complicated criminal cases.”
