Who I am:
My work ethic and strong convictions are attributable to my upbringing. I was raised in a Christian household with strong blue collar beliefs. My father worked 44 years in a chemical plant and my mother was a career nurse. They instilled in me and my three siblings the value of a day's work, and that all you truly have to show for yourself are your integrity, dignity and reputation. I have transformed those teachings to my legal practice. I answer only to my clients because they are my employer. They have entrusted me with their life or that of their friend or family. There is nothing more important. No matter what the accusation leveled against them, it is the most important matter in their life at that time. Therefore, I treat each and every case with the upmost importance. I believe that I should be easily accessible to my clients. It is a partnership. Communication is the key. You will always speak directly to me. No intern. No clerk. No legal assistant. Honesty and integrity are what I stand for and what you will receive. As the father of three, ages 4 18, I expect the same of my children. Therefore I lead by example. I take great pride in my reputation in the legal community and beyond. Feel free to question that. I will protect you. I will fight for you.Together we will get the best possible outcome for your case.
