My main interest and focus is criminal defense, primarily in the area of Child Molestation Defense and all other sex crime charges and accusations, as well as “False” Accusations.

I’m here to “listen” and develop the best possible “game plan” and strategy to prove your innocence as well as minimize your damages. That being translated to proving your innocence and/or keeping your record “clean” and your sentence, if any, minimal.
 
DIVORCE and CUSTODY CASES
In the event you are seeking either representation for either the plaintiff or defendant, male or female, I enjoy handling divorce and/or custody litigation.
My goal is your ultimate goal.

I will attempt to achieve all you're entitled to, as well as get you awarded all you're seeking out of such civil action. In turn, I will utilize all efforts to settle your case via settlement conferences, mediation, and/or pre-trial conferences with the judge assigned to your case without proceeding to trial in an effort to minimize your stress and financial burden.

In the event trial is necessary, I will get you fully prepared with myself, and if necessary, will utilize the efforts of a private investigator. Further, I will be seeking reimbursement from the courts on the issue of your prepaid attorney fees.

TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE ORDERS (TPO) HEARINGS
Temporary Protective Orders or what is commonly referred to as a "T.P.O." are often filed as either a "preemptive strike" by the opposing attorney prior to the filing of a complaint for divorce or simply filed for accusations of "Family Violence." These hearings are very serious in matter, thus one should not proceed without competent and familiar representation.

I have handled hundreds of "Family Violence" temporary protective order hearings professionally and successfully to the complete satisfaction of my client.
