experience, compassion & dedication
I believe that everyone deserves a zealous advocate to act in their best interests regardless of how much money is in their bank account, or how large their paychecks are. The legal system can be a daunting place to be whether you are facing criminal charges, a lengthy and costly divorce or custody battle, foreclosure on your house, or an injury from a car accident or a slip and fall. All of these situations can carry life altering consequences, and all can be a terrifying to deal with alone. I believe no one should have to go through those experiences alone and without an experienced and compassionate advocate working on their behalf.
If you are facing one of the scenarios listed above, it can be difficult choosing someone to help you from all of the lawyers out there. When facing tough legal issues, inexperienced lawyers can cause you additional stress and headaches in an already tense situation. If you find yourself facing legal peril, you need an experienced lawyer who has years of real world experience, and who knows how the justice system works to assist you.
I have the necessary experience to provide the assistance needed throughout the criminal process. There are very few other lawyers in the criminal defense field who have years of prosecution training and perspective. I worked as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Clark County in Vancouver, WA, from 2006 - 2012, and have handled criminal matters ranging from Misdemeanor Assault and DUI to Felony Assault, Robbery, Rape, Serious Felony Domestic Violence Assault Cases, and Attempted Murder. I handled thousands of cases as a former Prosecutor, was the Assistant Unit Coordinator of the Domestic Violence Unit, and have been to trial over 100 times in my career as a lawyer. This prior experience has honed my negotiation skills, which transfers to all aspects of my current practice.
Not only do I understand how the State will approach your case better than most other lawyers given my years of experience as a Prosecutor, I also understand what the most effective course is for pretrial negotiations and, if necessary, for presentation at trial from the defense perspective. Put your trust in an attorney who has the experience and background necessary to get the positive results you deserve.
The Family Court and Criminal Justice system can be a daunting and frightening place to be if you do not have the proper guidance and assistance from a qualified lawyer. Regardless of how you became involved legal peril, it is imperative that you contact an attorney as early as possible to assure an experienced lawyer is looking out for your best interests. I look forward to working with you to make the experience as painless as possible, and to provide assurance that your rights are protected and a strong defense is made on your behalf.
Given my extensive background in dealing with Domestic Violence matters, I have also found a natural desire to work with Family Law clients through Divorce and Legal Separation proceedings, as well as on Temporary and Permanent Protection Orders, Parenting Plans, and Child Support matters. Going through a Divorce or Separation, or fighting for custody or support regarding your children, can be an emotionally draining period of time, and it is important to have a lawyer advocate on your side to assure your criminal case is adjudicated in a fair manner.
