Make sure you understand what you are getting into when you hire an attorney, and demand performance out of your attorney. This is especially important if your case is one that requires the extensive use of expert witnesses, such as physicians, psychiatrists, or forensic scientists. Many attorneys manage their finances so poorly that they have no money left to hire crucial experts to defend your case. This can mean the difference for you between life in prison or an acquittal. The State will have experts in murder and sexual assault cases, and your attorney must be prepared to manage his fees in such a way that you get the benefit of a battle of the experts.

I believe that every case is important and requires individual attention. Aggressive representation is paramount to acquiring an acquittal in a criminal case or favorable settlement in a family law situation. The criminal justice system is not designed to care about what is best for you and your family. This entity is pulled in all directions, stretched by competing interests, politics, funding issues, and personal motivations. The "system" is molded to prosecute crime. It is shaped so that the State has the overwhelming advantage. The only way to fight back is by hiring someone who can navigate through the confusion, assess the evidence that exists, and prepare a cogent, plausible defense specific and individual to you. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you to determine how I can help.
