For the last twenty five years I have had the honor of working alongside some of the most talented, dedicated attorneys in the nation. I have watched firsthand how justice is often uneven and for some people can have devastating consequences. To that end, I am committed to doing my part to ensure that each person accused of an offense has a well prepared, vigorous defense and is treated with dignity and respect.
