If you know you need honest answers from a lawyer with the experience you can count on and the values you can trust, please contact me today.
Why I Do What I Do
Several years ago, I retired to help take care of my mom when she was sick. After she recovered, I came back to my criminal defense practice — not because of the money, but because I love the law and I care about what happens to my clients.
I represent good people in bad situations. I represent doctors, preachers, accountants, farmers, students, truck drivers, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. I keep my trial skills sharp so that I can be an effective advocate for my clients' rights and for the second chance they deserve.
Good Lawyering at a Good Price
I run a quality shop. I focus on serving my clients to my utmost ability, not on maximizing my fees. Trust me; I'm not in this for the money. I'm in this to be of service to people who need help. My passion for the law and love of winning are only exceeded by my heartfelt values.
My Thoughts on DWI
A DWI charge is not about your morality, character or ethics. If you drink, you can get a DWI. I know how easy it is to go to Carino's for an Italian dinner, have a glass of wine, be pulled over for a busted tail light and end up charged with drunk driving because the officer only smelled alcohol on your breath.
DWI is an Opinion Crime
I call DWI an opinion crime because you are arrested almost solely on the officer's opinion that you are intoxicated. In fact, even if you only have alcohol on your breath, you could be arrested. The field tests are only a legal excuse for the officer to arrest you.
