What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I think that clients should research and educate themselves on any type of issue, legal or otherwise. However, law is complicated and I don't think reading about it on the internet qualifies anyone to make serious legal decisions without the advice of a professional. Put it this way, I may educate myself about a particular disease I was diagnosed with, but I would not attempt to treat myself or tell the doctor how to treat me.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
None.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
None.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I enjoy solving problems.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I teach criminal law and procedure at community college and have a full life with four kids.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I can't give you an answer to why I chose this area of law other than I liked it.
What do you like best about your career?
I enjoy many aspects of my career. I like solving problems and litigating issues to perhaps change the law.
Tell us about your law firm:
Clients deal directly with me and I have a wonderful assistant who keeps track of all my cases.
What are your strengths and style?
I am straight-forward with clients. I have a good reputation among the various judges and prosecutors. I work hard.
Personal Interests:
I have taught at defense seminars, specifically, the Arizona Association of Criminal Justice and the Arizona Public Defender Association. I have also been an adjunct professor since 2006 teaching several criminal law related classes at Paradise Valley Community College.
