He has handled matters involving capital offenses, major felonies, misdemeanors, criminal appeals, drug crimes, fraud, gun crimes, internet crimes, sex crimes, theft, expungements, and violent crime allegations. His background in both sides of criminal cases helps him evaluate evidence, anticipate strategy, and carefully pursue strong defense outcomes.
