ADVOCATE FOR YOU
to achieve the best possible result in your case

in trial practice and negotiation to your particular problem

I solve problems that people face when things go wrong. If you are charged with a crime, deep in debt, unable to work because of illness or are seriously injured in an accident, I bring experience, skill and personal commitment to help you with your legal problems.
I take pride in my work and the quality of my service. You can expect me to listen to you, provide you with experienced counsel and advice, keep you informed, provide personal attention and fight for your interests.
I help people in the following areas:

Criminal Defense—I protect you from the first accusation through trial. I provide you with careful investigation and preparation, and counsel you so that you can understand the legal process and your constitutional rights. I bring extensive trial experience to your defense. I represent people in District, Juvenile and Superior Courts, in cases ranging from minor motor vehicle violations and misdemeanors to serious lifetime felonies.
Bankruptcy—I protect you and your assets from bill collectors and debt collection lawsuits when you face serious financial hardship. Applying the safeguards of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, I can work with you to protect your property, get you out from under debt and get a "fresh start." We are designated, under federal law, as a debt relief agency.

Social Security Disability and SSI—I advocate for you before the Social Security Administration in claims for SSDI or SSI benefits. If you are unable to work because of physical or mental disabilities, you may qualify for such benefits. I work with your medical providers to make sure the SSA has all the facts about your condition. I provide help at any step of the process, from initial applications through hearings before Administrative Law Judges.
Personal Injury—I help you to obtain fair and just compensation when you have been seriously injured in an accident. You may be compensated for physical injuries, emotional or psychological damages, lost wages, or the pain you suffer because of someone's negligence. We can negotiate with insurance companies and fight for you in trial.
