  I provide my clients assistance in criminal matters. including DWI, theft, possession, assault, as well as many other offenses. Many people think criminal matters involve only hardened offenders, but I have extensive experience dealing with every day people such as yourself who may have made a simple mistake along the way. For people who may find themselves at odds with the criminal justice system for the first time, this can be especially stressful. As your attorney I will ease your concerns, guide you every step of the way, and explain to you your rights in a straight forward manner that's easy to understand. I will take the time to educate you and I will avoid speaking to you in "legalese". I will return your phone calls and give you the time and attention you deserve during this difficult time. Once your criminal case has been decided I can also provide assistance with expungements and orders of non-disclosure. Your good name is priceless and even a case that is dismissed against you can still show up on your record. Allow me to assist you in getting a fresh start. I will also represent you in municipal court with traffic tickets and class c misdemeanors that you may not have the time to deal with on your own. We unfortunately all get traffic tickets. I can provide you with effective legal representation for a reasonable fee that might surprise you. I may be able to assist you in many other general areas of the law. If I am unable to assist in any area, I may be able to refer you to a great attorney who can. Show less
