Experienced, Objective Criminal Defense

In over 25 years, I have learned that every case is different, and the evidence in every case is different. As I learn the details of a situation, I am often able to attack the investigators' search and seizure of the evidence against my clients. If the police did not follow the law in obtaining their evidence against you, it may be dismissed.

I also work with a network of professionals, including chemists and pharmacists, who frequently testify about various aspects of my clients' cases. This professional network is a valuable asset to my clients facing drug charges.

As a respected member of the Columbus legal community, I have received an AV rating* from my peers -the highest recognition for legal ability and ethical practice. I am Rule 20 Certified, and the courts have appointed me to represent defendants in death penalty cases in Ohio.
