I am an attorney with twenty years experience dedicated to criminal defense and personal injury resulting from government misconduct.

A vigorous criminal defense bar is vital to a free and open society. That this fact is often unappreciated has caused me to recognize that the battle must be fought both inside and outside the courtroom. Media control and information management can help level the playing field, portray the accused in a positive light and guide the public, and your jury, to equate acquittal with justice.

I have represented both a famous television star and a homeless man accused of stealing bread. In both cases, positive media control led to a more favorable outcome. Early, aggressive intervention and media control has even resulted in charges not being filed at all in some of my cases. With attention and effort, the media can become your ally rather than your enemy.

I am certified as a specialist in criminal defense by the Arizona State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. I am also Death Penalty qualified for all phases of defense, including trial, appeal and post-conviction relief.
