I have represented thousands of clients in criminal cases ranging from misdemeanor drug possession to first degree intentional homicide. I specialize in defending clients facing serious and complex charges, including sexual assault, large scale drug cases, and homicide. In that capacity I regularly litigate cases involving DNA, computer forensic evidence, cell phone forensic searches, child forensic interviews, and expert medical testimony. I am an aggressive pretrial litigator and have successfully suppressed evidence and statements in a diverse range of cases including drug possession/delivery, sexual assault, bank robbery, weapons charges, theft, homicide, and OWI. I have had multiple clients acquitted in serious felony cases, including not guilty verdicts for first degree intentional homicide, and serious sexual assaults. I am the only attorney in the state to obtain a not guilty verdict in a Len Bias drug delivery homicide since our law was changed in 2007. I've tried dozens of cases in nearly every area of criminal law including property crimes, OWI/traffic offenses, domestic violence, DNR/natural resource offenses, drug & pharmaceutical offenses, sex crimes, and crimes against children. While a substantial portion of my practice involves representing clients facing decades behind bars, I handle the full spectrum of criminal defense including OWI/drunk driving, misdemeanor and felony drug possession, domestic violence, probation and extended supervision revocations, juvenile defense, and DNR/natural resources offenses. Each client's circumstances are unique, so I take an individualized approach to resolving a case in the manner that best suits a client's goal. While many attorneys describe themselves as "aggressive," I prefer to describe my approach as "intelligent." Some cases call for aggressive litigation, while a softer approach is best for others. Approaching a case intelligently means that an attorney will know what is most important to his client and develop a unified plan designed to achieve this goal. I get to know each client as a human being first, then work with them to resolve a case in the manner that best suits their interests.
