Aggressive Criminal Defense from a Former Prosecutor.
As a former Franklin County Public Defender and a Columbus City Prosecutor, I am very familiar with the officers, judges, and prosecutors in the Columbus area. Chances are, I’ve worked with them before. I know their tactics and how to defend you against them.
Being charged with a crime is an intimidating experience, and I know you have questions. Will I go to jail? Will I lose my job? Will I be able to care for my family emotionally and financially? As your criminal defense attorney, I can help ease some of the uncertainty that comes with being arrested.
Mistakes and misunderstandings can happen to anyone. Hiring the right criminal defense lawyer is critical, but it’s difficult to know who to hire when every lawyer is claiming to be the right choice.

How Can a Criminal Defense Attorney Help?
Regardless of the circumstances, being charged with a crime is terrifying, sometimes frustrating, and overwhelming. For anyone convicted of a crime, the consequences can be dire, including fines, probation, forfeiture of property, or even the possibility of jail time. It’s easy to become discouraged when facing a complicated and unforgiving criminal justice system, but you don’t have to face it alone.
As an experienced criminal defense attorney, I always put my client first and defend each case with my full attention and exhaust every possible resource in an effort to give you the best possible result. You can be confident that an experienced and highly motivated criminal defense attorney is fighting for you.
I pride myself on not just understanding your criminal charges, but also what is important to you. After we discuss the events leading up to your arrest, we’ll then go over all your options and how we can achieve a result that puts you in the best position to move on with your life.
I will aggressively work to exclude any evidence against you, negotiate for a reduction or complete dismissal of the charges, and passionately fight to clear your name.
As your criminal defense attorney, I will preserve your constitutional rights and take steps to shield you from the repercussions of a conviction.
