  Criminal defense attorney managing and coordinating all aspects of criminal law trial practice: including assessing case for collateral aspects such as immigration, developing a trial strategy, advising clients and maintaining communication with the client. I litigated misdemeanor and felony bench trials for adult and juvenile clients before the Municipal Court, Court of Common Pleas and Juvenile Court in Philadelphia. These cases ranged in complexity from Rape and Robbery to Thefts and DUIs. As a part of my practice I routinely proposed and negotiated innovative solutions for clients on a case-by-case basis and prepared clients and witnesses of all ages to testify at trial. I traveled to juvenile placements and conducted review hearings, determined program progress and facilitated discharge proceedings. Additionally, I litigated arraignments, felony probable cause hearings, pre- and post-trial motions, bail hearings and violation of probation hearings. I was also responsible for all pre-trial investigation, witness interviews, legal research, motions practice and social services.
