Biography
When I advocate for clients, I adopt the principle of representing them in a manner that reflects how I would wish to be represented in a similar situation. I meticulously assess, investigate, and vigorously advocate for a case in alignment with the client's wishes, while upholding my ethical obligations. I often liken the lawyer-client dynamic to that of a taxi driver and passenger. Just as a taxi driver possesses the knowledge of optimal routes and the ability to navigate effectively, the client steers the course of the case. I strive to exert every effort to guide my clients towards their objectives. My primary legal expertise lies in criminal law, supplemented by previous involvement in family law matters. Over the past year, I have concentrated on DWI, Criminal, and Traffic Defense matters. Rather than spreading myself thin across various legal domains, I concentrate on the areas where I excel, ensuring that my clients receive top-notch legal representation.
