Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

I had a malicious wounding case which I was able to get dismissed, the person was facing a minimum of five years. I was able to show that it was self-defense and got the case dismissed. I also had a .27 DUI dismissed where the person was facing 10 days mandatory minimum in jail and he had serious health issues and couldn't afford to go to jail.

How did you build a successful practice?

You build a successful practice by returning your client's calls and by fighting hard for your clients. You should never take a plea for a client if you would get the same result with the Judge.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

They should look for a person who is not lazy, someone who is comfortable in court, someone who has a good relationship with the police officer. Someone who isn't afraid to go to trial.

It is very important, you need to know which Judges are sympathetic to certain issues. It is important to know the officers and have a good relationship with them.
