About:

I am a seasoned criminal defense attorney born and raised in Manatee County. I hold degrees from the University of Florida and Nova Southeastern University. My career began as an Assistant Public Defender in Broward and Hillsborough Counties, where I dedicated myself to defending the accused. I have served as the President of the Manatee County Bar Association and am a member of the Sarasota County Bar Association, roles in which I am recognized as a respected leader and relentless advocate within the regional legal community. Throughout my career, I have successfully defended clients charged with serious offenses, securing Not Guilty verdicts in cases involving Murder, Sex Crimes, False Impersonation of Law Enforcement, Battery on Law Enforcement, Fraud, DUI, and Domestic Violence Battery. Known for my fearless trial presence, strategic approach, and deep commitment to justice, I bring unmatched local knowledge and dedication to every case I handle. I proudly serve Sarasota and Manatee Counties with the same tenacity and integrity that have defined my legal career from the beginning. In today's digital world, the rise of social media, messaging apps, and rapid communication has led to a dramatic increase in sex crime allegations, exploitation, cyberstalking, online solicitation, identity theft, and unauthorized computer access—many of which arise from misunderstandings, false accusations, or overreaching enforcement. These charges carry intense stigma, life-altering consequences, and severe penalties, making it imperative to have a skilled, aggressive attorney by your side. I understand the sensitive and complex nature of these cases and have a proven track record of protecting my clients' rights and reputations when it matters most. View More ›
