How Do We
Build Relationships?

My clients are given my personal cell phone number so they can reach me anytime, anywhere. And yes, I will answer my phone in the middle of the night. If you don't believe me, just ask my wife.
I would want my attorney to treat me like a human being, not a file. I would want my attorney to understand that this is a personal crisis for me and make my case a priority. This is how you can expect to be treated by me.
I have lost potential clients by telling them what they need to hear, instead of what they want to hear. This does not bother me - in fact, I would not have it any other way. I will not blindside a client by painting them a pretty picture when the facts of their case do not warrant it. I will not convince someone to hire me when I know I can't help them. I don't want to make my living that way. You work hard for your money, so I don't take money from you unless I intend to earn it through honest effort.
My clients put a lot of trust in me, and I like to return the favor. If you can't pay my entire fee up front, that's okay. I will let you make your own payment plan. You tell me what you can pay and when, and I will hold you to it. I will treat you like a responsible adult, not like a criminal.
Obviously results are extremely important, and I am very proud of the results that I have been able to deliver for my clients. I fight hard for my clients and the outcomes of their cases reflect that. That said, every situation is different, and I don't want to mislead you by comparing apples to oranges. Make an appointment to speak with me and I will give you an honest assessment of your circumstances.

How Can Our Firm Help You?

Our team has a strong background in criminal defense and has successfully represented clients in a large number of cases. We’ve successfully defended our clients in cases ranging anywhere from very serious violent crimes to assault, to drug crimes, to DWI. In addition to tackling criminal defense cases, our team also has extensive experience in dealing with all areas of family law. This is a broad area, and many cases that pass through the system are highly emotional in nature, often testing close personal relationships, breaking down long-term connections, and causing worry when dealing with children and your family. In the best cases, divorces and custody arrangements are relatively amicable, and this allows the entire process of reaching agreements on property division, custody, and child support to be as pain-free as possible. Sometimes, however, a smooth and friendly ending is not possible, and the courts and legal system will be required to take action, making key decisions that have the potential to impact your future.
