Persistence, Knowledge, Dedication.  I am dedicated to providing the type of criminal defense you should expect when hiring private counsel.  These are the characteristics common in my representation of every client's case. First, I want you to have an understanding of the events and proceedings during representation.  It is extremely important that you clearly understand the charges you're being faced with, the potential consequences, and the criminal process.  I will take the time to explain anything which seems confusing, and will make myself as available as possible to answer your questions and concerns, even after hours. Second, I strive to keep an open line of communication between my clients and the firm.  I am a firm believer that in building your defense, we need to work as partners.  The trust between a lawyer and his client must be held in the strictest confidence to ensure the best possible defense.  Lastly, expect to be handled with the utmost professionalism, with an eye not only on keeping you out of jail and minimizing the criminal penalties you could be faced with, but also with the awareness of how the criminal charges can affect other aspects of your life.  Many of my clients are professionals and could face additional penalties affecting their professional licenses, such as chiropractors, doctors, lawyers, physical therapists, etc.  Additionally, many crimes could have an effect on your driver's license, auto insurance, etc.  I will do everything in your best interest not only in defending your criminal case, but with an awareness on other potential consequences.
