Bar Admissions

NJ, May 2002

Other Court Admissions

New Jersey State and Federal Courts.

Association Memberships

Monmouth County Bar Association.

Continuing Education

I attend seminars on Criminal Defense, Municipal practices and DWI.

Example Cases

I represented an individual charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault. The assault was considered "aggravated" due to the young age of the alleged victim, therefore, Megan's Law would have applied. I was able to collect relevant information and presented it to the State. My client was then offered Pre-Trial Intervention. The client not only avoided Megan's Law but also a criminal record.

I represented an individual charged with Terrorist Threats and Aggravated Assault against a police officer. I was able to obtain evidence that persuaded the Prosecutor to remand the case to municipal court. I was then able to get the matter dismissed in municipal court.
