I regularly attend seminars provided by the California Public Defender's Association, California DUI Lawyer's Association, and National College for DUI Defense, and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. I find the seminars keep me up to date on the latest laws and legal strategies. I always exceed the required number of continuing education hours.

I focus on criminal and DUI defense. I believe an aggressive defense, that includes being willing to go to trial and actively argue pre-trial motions provides the client with the best chance of success. In criminal and DUI cases, I make sure that I have complete knowledge of the facts and the law applicable to your case as soon as possible.

I have been defending people charged with criminal offenses as a solo-practitioner in Northern California for the past five years. I have represented clients in 33 criminal jury trials.

In 2002, I worked with Joshua Dale as DUI defense attorney. In 2003, I worked with Tim Pori as a criminal defense attorney. Both of these attorneys provided me with great insight in how to defend a client charged with a DUI or other criminal charges.
