When you hire an attorney for one of the most important events of your life, you should get the truth, not a sales pitch for a defense.
I don’t push you down one path or another. I explain your options and guide you through your decision. I lay out the possible results of your case, and you choose which direction to go.
Some clients have hired me and then left for other counsel because they wanted to hear that everything would be fine. Most of them eventually come back. They realize it’s in their best interest to hear the truth, even when it’s painful.
The only guarantee: I will do everything in my power to get the result you want.
From day one, I prepare your case as if we are going to trial. The goal in every matter is the best possible outcome for my client. If that means trial, I’ll be ready. If we don’t go to trial, we use that work as leverage to get the outcome you want.
Most attorneys hand the investigation off to a separate person or office. I am a federally trained investigations and intelligence agent, and I keep my license as a Level IV private investigator.
When we need the information that changes the outcome of your case, I’m not handed someone else’s report and expected to speak to it. I wrote the report myself, and I know every word of it.
Most attorneys don’t have my background and experience. Not every win comes from a legal argument. You have to know the system to get clients what they want. After nearly 40 years, I know the system.
I have been recognized as a professional federal inspector, investigator, bodyguard, intelligence agent, litigation attorney and doctor of psychology.
No one can match that experience.
At our first meeting, you’ll see that I’m different. Together we set the goals you want to reach to overcome whatever challenge brought you to me. You define those results from day one.
Then we build a plan to reach them, and every step moves you closer to the goal line.
Every case is different: the facts, the client, and what the best outcome looks like.
Many criminal defense clients also face immigration consequences from their charges. For them, avoiding deportation can matter as much as staying out of jail. An attorney who doesn’t assess every collateral issue is doing the client a disservice.
My reputation matters to me, and part of that is making sure you can still buy food and pay rent while I’m working for you. I offer very reasonable pricing, mostly flat fees, plus payment plans.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in future cases.
