I am a former USAF Officer, this is where I honed my skills in hard work and determination. I was a B-52 crew member; that was where I learned the necessity of teamwork.

The Criminal Justice System is often referred to as "Adversarial." This is because regardless of the charges you are facing, you and the government will do battle over one critical item of evidence: Your "Presumption of Innocence."

To have a fighting chance, you need someone who knows your adversary.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a lawyer, and as a former supervising deputy district attorney, I know your...
