About the Firm

I am an attorney with nearly thirty years experience, all in Phoenix, dedicated to criminal defense and redressing personal injury resulting from government misconduct.

Since you are reading this, chances are that you, or someone you love, are facing legal trouble.This is a very stressful time for you and I understand what you are going through. I have helped thousands of people get through just such trouble. You will want to have the best, most robust legal defense possible from a lawyer who keeps you fully informed of the progress in your case.

I am, and have always been, a sole practitioner working in Phoenix. My professional survival has always depended on my own vigorous efforts to represent my clients to the fullest of my ability, an effort that I have successfully pursued for almost thirty years. Being in solo practice allows me to personally attend to every aspect of your case. You will get the benefit of my considerable experience and get the most capable representation I have to offer. Your legal problem is possibly the most important issue you are currently facing and, because it is important to you, it is important to me.

This approach is both satisfying to me and to my clients. the vast majority of my clients are referred to me personally by former clients and their families who were pleased by my performance as their advocate and satisfied with the outcome of their case.

I have been certified as a Specialist in Criminal Defense since September 1991 by the Arizona State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. I have been first-chair qualified for Death Penalty cases for two decades for all phases of Capital defense, including trial, appeal and post conviction relief. During that time I have represented twenty three persons whom the state has sought to execute. The state has never obtained a death sentance against a single client I have represented at trial.

I am pleased that you have found my website. If you would like more information, please contact me at the email address or telephone number listed on my homepage.

I look forward to bringing my experience, diligence and responsiveness to advokating for you and protecting your freedom. I would be delighted for you to become my next satisfied client and future source of referral.
