Professional Experience
Attorney
Portsmouth Public Defender
-
With 17 years of dedicated legal expertise, I bring a depth of experience and a proven track record of success to each client's case. Early in my career, I honed my skills at the Portsmouth Public Defender's Office in Virginia, where for over a year, I tackled a wide range of challenging cases, from drug possession to murder, robbery, and appeals. This formative experience not only taught me the intricacies of criminal law but also ingrained in me the art of winning a case right from its inception. At Dorsk Law, we are committed to applying this hard-earned knowledge and strategic acumen to defend your rights and secure the best possible outcome for you. Let us bring our winning mindset and seasoned legal expertise to your corner.
