About
As a former prosecutor, I spent nearly a decade prosecuting crimes and gaining invaluable experience handling exclusively criminal cases. During that time, I completed nearly 40 criminal jury trials and negotiated thousands of criminal cases. As a former prosecutor, I know how a prosecutor is likely to view and evaluate a case, how a prosecutor is likely to value and thus negotiate a case, and finally, how a prosecutor prepares a case for trial and argues that case to a jury.
Now, as a criminal defense attorney, I put my experience as a former prosecutor to use defending my clients to ensure that their rights are preserved, that they are informed throughout all stages of a criminal case, and that they are given an honest and informed valuation of the strengths and weaknesses of their particular case.
