I represent sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers.
I represent people with a story to tell. People who are falsely accused or over-charged.
My passion is to find their narrative that exonerates or mitigates criminal charges that have been filed against them.
I know that use and abuse of drugs and alcohol contribute to 90% of the problems facing my clients. I know that many of my clients have mental health or emotional wellness issues that need addressed and explained to the court.
