Why I Fight For Your Rights
People often ask me why I defend the accused. My answer is simple — because there are two sides to every story, and you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You have a constitutional right to defend yourself against accusations of criminal wrongdoing, and it’s my responsibility to fully defend your rights, protect your well-being and ensure the system treats you fairly.
Clients choose me as their criminal defense attorney for my reputation, my exceptional track record of success and my down-to-earth demeanor. When you meet with me you’ll feel comfortable sharing your story, your goals and your fears. I will treat you with the respect you deserve and work hard to get you the best result possible.
