Many criminal defense attorneys describe themselves as pit bulls because they know that is what sells. As a former assistant prosecutor and an attorney who now concentrates in criminal defense, I understand what works and what does not work. When it will help a client, I never hesitate to be aggressive.
But I understand the difference between mindless aggression and skilled negotiation. Each case requires a different approach to obtain a positive result. As an attorney who is both tenacious and prudent, I have helped many clients protect their rights and secure a better future. If you have been charged with a crime, I encourage you to contact me.
