Welcome
I solve problems that people face when things go wrong. If you
are charged with a crime, deep in debt, unable to work because
of illness or are seriously injured in an accident, I bring
experience, skill and personal commitment to help you with your legal problems.
I take pride in my work and the quality of my service. You
can expect me to listen to you, provide you with experienced
counsel and advice, keep you informed, provide personal
attention and fight for your interests.
I help people in the following areas:
-
Criminal Defense—I
protect you from the first accusation through trial. I provide you
with careful investigation and preparation, and counsel you so that you
can understand the legal process and your constitutional rights. I bring
extensive trial experience to your defense. I represent people in
District, Juvenile and Superior Courts, in cases ranging from minor
motor vehicle violations and misdemeanors to serious lifetime felonies.
-
Bankruptcy—I
protect you and your assets from bill collectors and debt collection
lawsuits when you face serious financial hardship. Applying the
safeguards of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, I can work with you to protect
your property, get you out from under debt and get a "fresh start." We
are designated, under federal law, as a debt relief agency.

-
Social Security Disability and SSI—I advocate for you
before the Social Security Administration
in claims for SSDI or SSI benefits. If you are unable to work because of
physical or mental disabilities, you may qualify for such benefits. I
work with your medical providers to make sure the SSA has all the facts
about your condition. I provide help at any step of the process, from
initial applications through hearings before Administrative Law Judges.
-
Personal Injury—I
help you to obtain fair and just compensation when you have been
seriously injured in an accident. You may be compensated for
physical injuries, emotional or psychological damages, lost wages,
or the pain you suffer because of someone's negligence. We can
negotiate with insurance companies and fight for you in trial.
