How I Serve Clients

 

I help clients in often traumatic times in their lives, such as when they are suffering from crushing debt or if they are charged with a serious traffic violation, such as a DUI. 

 

Regardless of whether you’re facing overwhelming debt or a criminal offense, I’m here to help you – not judge. 

 

When you retain me, I will give you my full dedication and commitment to achieving your objectives.  In cases of financial hardship, I’ll work with you to explain your options, and, once you have chosen a path (which may be filing for bankruptcy protection), I will represent you vigorously in helping to achieve the best outcome so that you can move forward.

 

In cases of serious criminal charges involving motor vehicles, I challenge the prosecution at every point.  I seek dismissal of charges when there is not sufficient legally admissible evidence.  I question witnesses, oppose the prosecution’s theory of the case, and challenge the evidence that they may seek to introduce.  If you have been charged with a serious crime involving vehicle use, such as an OVI, please contact me so that I may begin working to protect you. 

 

Likewise, if you’ve been charged with a less serious matter – such as speeding – please call me as my firm is often able to help secure a better result than would be the case by paying the ticket or pleading guilty to the charge.

 

While no attorney can promise a favorable outcome, having an experienced attorney in your corner is almost always the best option rather than proceeding alone without legal counsel.
