About:

I am a licensed Florida attorney and an LL.M. graduate of Temple University's top ranked Trial Advocacy Program. This academic training, coupled with my hands-on legal experience, has afforded me a strong foundation in litigation and trial practice. I am a former prosecutor dedicated to zealous and aggressive representation in Traffic, DUI, Misdemeanor and Felony Criminal Defense cases. In 2005, I was appointed as a prosecutor with the Office of the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Florida. During my time with the State Attorney's Office, I sat first chair in over one hundred criminal cases that went to trial; most of which were argued before a jury. I was first assigned to the Misdemeanor County Court Division where I prosecuted misdemeanor criminal law violations, including but not limited to, Traffic Crimes, Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Reckless Driving and Assault/Battery. In 2007, I was appointed to the Felony Division prosecuting law violations such as, but not limited to, Burglary, Drug Crimes, Aggravated Assault/Battery, Financial Crimes and Fleeing & Eluding Police. I was assigned to the Felony Family Violence Unit in 2009. In private practice, I have dedicated myself towards pursuing justice those who are accused of committing crimes. I advocate for, and strive to find, sentencing alternatives to jail or prison for those who are suffering from drug, alcohol and/or dual diagnosis disorders. I have addressed numerous schools, community groups and programs in order to educate both young adults and adults about the criminal justice system, domestic violence and the penalties associated with drug and alcohol related crimes. It is my experience as a prosecutor that makes me a zealous defense attorney and I am proud of my years serving the citizens of Palm Beach County. I will be just as proud to serve you, my client, with the same zeal and aggressiveness.
