State Criminal Defense
Whistleblower Claims
I represent executives, professionals and others facing every type of criminal investigation and prosecution.
Complex Charges Call For Highly Effective Criminal Defense Representation
The reality of white collar crime cases is that they are very fact-intensive. The investigations can take a very long time. The analysis of evidence can require a substantial amount of time before charges are ever brought. This makes it crucial that your defense attorney has the skills to not only understand and be able to navigate the facts of your case, he or she has to also understand how to build a narrative that will be able to protect your rights.
Trust A Former Federal And State Prosecutor
Effective criminal defense requires the ability to undermine the case the prosecution is presenting. As a former federal and state prosecutor, I understand how prosecutors approach cases. This helps me, along with my decades of defense experience, to build cases that truly serve the best interests of my clients. Your rights and your future are in good hands with me by your side.
