Biography

I believe that aggressive and zealous advocacy on behalf of each client is essential to provide outstanding legal services and am dedicated to the highest level of customer service in order to achieve the best results possible.  There is no substitute for experience or hard work.  I have been a prosecutor and a defense attorney; a civil litigator on both sides; and I bring those experiences to the benefit of every client I represent.
