Biography

The Constitution is Non-Negotiable, and I'm proud to offer passionate representation to protect the rights of every one of my clients. As a native of Western Pennsylvania and a current area resident, I am strongly invested in the community. Since founding my Somerset criminal defense and personal injury law firm in Somerset in 1997, I have worked hard to protect the rights and best interests of the individuals and businesses I represent. In addition to my legal practice, I serve as president of the Somerset County Bar Association, serve on the board of Somerset Country Club and support numerous local initiatives to enhance the community.
