Defending Your Rights Against Criminal Accusations
A large part of my practice is devoted to criminal defense. Throughout my career as a lawyer, I have helped many clients fight criminal charges. I believe everyone accused of a crime has the right to a vigorous defense with the counsel of an experienced attorney.
While some criminal defense lawyers focus on misdemeanor and traffic violations, I handle the full range of criminal charges, including
- Drug crimes, including federal drug crimes
- Violent crimes
- Sex crimes
- Theft and burglary
- Domestic violence
- Probation violations
- Vehicular manslaughter
Handling Divorce and Family Matters With Compassion
I also spend a considerable amount of time helping clients through divorce and family law matters such as adoption and paternity proceedings.
I understand that family matters are deeply personal, and that clients have different wishes when it comes to how I represent them. I am a big supporter of the collaborative law process and other methods of negotiation and dispute resolution, but I am also prepared to advocate for your interests in court if necessary.
Planning for Medical and Family Decisions
End-of-life decisions — including financial provisions, medical directives and provisions for the care of minor children — need to be handled with compassion and attention to the particular wishes of each client. I am experienced at helping clients with wills, powers of attorney and other estate planning matters.
