I worked as an Assistant State Attorney in Hillsborough County (Tampa) Florida until 2010. Since March 2010, I have been defending people charged with Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol (Dui), Misdemeanor, and Felony charges. I work with clients regarding payments, and I meet regularly with my clients so that they always know what is going on with their case. I am never too busy to speak with a client or meet with someone who would like a free consultation.
I've worked with DUI cases since 2008. I've handled DUI cases first as a prosecuting attorney for the State of Florida. Since 2010, I have been on the defense side of DUI charges. I assist and advise my client from the minute they retain me as their lawyer. I meet with my clients regularly so they always know where their case stands. I advise my client early on during their case so while I am fighting their case, my clients are putting themselves in the best position for the best outcome.

I have handled auto accident cases since 2010 and my clients have experienced really good results. I work closely with my clients to ensure they understand what is going on with their case from day 1. I keep in touch regularly with my clients and I make myself available to my clients at all times. When I agree to handle someone's case, I always strive to go above and beyond for that client.
I have handled a handful of family law cases here in Florida since 2010. Some of these have included uncontested divorce child support. When I take a family law case, I always put my client's interest first and it stays that way during the entire case.
I have handled some foreclosure defense cases here in Florida since 2010. I have walked out of Mediation and Conciliation Conferences with my clients and it brings me joy to see my clients leave the conference much more happy than before it started. Some of these results have included principal reduction and many have included loan modifications.
