Criminal Defense That
Students And Others Can Count On

Mistakes happen, but they don’t have to define your whole life. If you’ve been charged with a crime, such as domestic assault or domestic violence, possession of drugs, theft or open container, I will fight to protect your future. I believe that a successful defense should be unique to the person – and the situation – it is protecting. Because of that, I will take the time to get to know you so I can create a holistic and thorough strategy for your defense.

If you’ve been charged with a crime as a college student, your future could be in jeopardy. I will do everything in my power to protect you so you can continue to flourish and begin the next stage of your life.

What Clients Say About Me

Experienced
Compassionate And Knowledgeable

In every case I take, I am driven by my passion to help my clients during difficult times. I understand how uncertain the future can seem if you’re battling a family law conflict or you’ve been charged with a crime, and I want to make a positive difference in your life. Many attorneys won’t go to court, but I’m not afraid of a challenge, and I will fight for you until a resolution is found. As a former judge for the Middletown Municipal Court system, I have a unique perspective on cases that go to trial and how to develop a winning strategy. You don’t need to fear the future or worry about what comes next; I can help you move forward.
