Protection of Your Rights
In a felony criminal defense matter or a misdemeanor DUI/DWI, nothing stands between you and the large resources of the state but your attorney. In a family law matter such as a child custody dispute, if you do not know your rights, you may agree to settlements that can have harmful consequences on your own life, your children's well-being and your finances. In a debt-related legal matter, your right to file for bankruptcy protection can help you get a fresh start financially, but only if you exercise that right knowledgeably.
Experienced Trial Lawyer and Former Prosecutor
The early years of my law career involved working for the Madison County Prosecutor's office. I gained significant experience handling criminal legal matters — from relatively minor theft charges to violent sex crimes and murder.
I seek to resolve matters out of court to save you time, money and stress. However, I have successfully brought to jury trial more than 50 cases, 30 of them as a prosecutor. Fellow divorce lawyers and prosecutors know that if their case has the slightest weakness and they are unwilling to negotiate, then I will see them in court, where I am accustomed to presenting compelling arguments that get results for clients.
