With over fourteen years in the legal profession — including roles as an Assistant Attorney General, felony prosecutor, and senior trial counsel — I bring a rare combination of prosecution and defense experience to every appeal.
I've sat on both sides of the courtroom. I've built the cases, presented them to grand juries, and argued them at trial. Now I use that insight to identify the errors, the weaknesses, and the arguments that can make the difference on appeal.
