Criminal Defense

I enjoy practicing criminal defense, and I believe that competent and zealous defense is vitally important even if it is unpopular. In my experience, poor clients and those charged with the worst offenses are the ones whose Constitutional Rights are disregarded the most.

The slippery slope from the government bending the rules to breaking them begins with those accused of the worst crimes.

For these reasons, I have represented hundreds of individuals accused of offenses ranging from traffic infractions to Class A felonies and federal RICO charges.

I am also a member of the Criminal Justice Act panel in federal court where I represent indigent defendants in federal criminal cases.

I am proud of my successes in criminal defense cases. Some of those victories include:

State v. M.S. – Obtained full acquittal in jury trial for client accused of C Felony, Misdemeanor, and Petty Misdemeanor;

State v. C.N. – Obtained acquittal in jury trial for client accused of crime of violence;

State v. K.C. – Secured dismissal of theft-related C Felony due to unlawful seizure of evidence;

State v. J.V., State v. B.N., State v. M.K., State v. E.S. – Secured suppression of breath alcohol tests in OVUII cases due to constitutional violations;

State v. A.L. – Secured suppression of evidence and dismissal of drug charge due to unconstitutionality of seizure.
