Firm Focus and History

My firm is specifically focused on helping those in the Los Angeles area who are looking for help to combat their criminal charges. We are specialized in all areas of this kind of law and are thus able to help our clients by creating custom-made solutions for whatever criminal situation they currently face.

Within that realm, I am able to handle all kinds of cases, including internet crimes, juvenile crimes, federal crimes, DUI, domestic violence, child pornography, and drug crimes.

I created this firm with the help of Mark J. Haushalter when we decided to join forces and help those in need of criminal defense.

Previous Employment Summary

I have worked in the field of criminal defense for years, creating a glowing track record of successfully handling criminal charges and helping my clients on their way towards getting the result that they need.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

Clients that are educated on the legal issues are able to assist me in my efforts towards getting them the desired result that they want and I am therefore always open to sitting down and educating them on legal issues of any kind.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

I am willing to review all documents that I believe will aid me in helping my clients.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

In our initial case consultation, I will evaluate the individual circumstances and discuss with my client the best way for me to help them get the outcome they desire.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

I decided to become a lawyer because I believe strongly that everyone deserves to be given a voice, especially when combating criminal charges. Criminal charges can affect a person's entire life and I strongly believe that those charged with criminal offenses need the best possible representation.

What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?

My work in criminal defense and my record within the field gives me the experience needed to help my clients combat whatever criminal charge they are facing. I am well-versed in all areas of criminal defense and can offer specific, detailed advice to everyone who chooses to work with me.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

Criminal charges are a terrifying situation to face. If mishandled, a criminal conviction can be imminent. A felony or misdemeanor conviction can cripple a person for the rest of his or her life. I enjoy the challenge and rewarding experience of battling these charges to allow a person to move forward again with the least amount of difficulty as possible.

What do you like best about your career?

I love being able to help others when they are facing a tough situation. It is never acceptable to give your second best and I love being challenged every day. I strongly believe that what I am doing is important and completely dedicate myself to every case I am handed.

Tell us about your law firm:

I work with another attorney that is experienced and skilled towards meeting the needs of every client that approaches our firm in search of criminal defense help. I trust that any client who works with him is in completely capable hands.

What are your strengths and style?

I am a big believer in the details and never give a broad, sweeping brush-over on cases. Instead, I go through every piece and part until I am sure I have addressed every individual nuance of my client's situation. By turning over every stone and exploring every angle, I am able to make sure my clients are being completely cared for.

Personal Interests:

I love to practice law and to help my clients get the desired outcome they are hoping for.
