South New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney
I am a Criminal Defense attorney and I devote my entire practice to representing those charged with Criminal Offenses and DWI Charges. I have been practicing Criminal Law in New Jersey for 28 years. As a former state prosecutor, I investigated and prosecuted white collar felony crimes. As a former assistant county prosecutor, I prosecuted major felony crimes including murder, attempted murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated sexual assault, aggravated assault, and all types of drug crimes.
I left the county prosecutor’s office to begin my own criminal law practice in South Jersey. I have successfully defended clients charged with all types of crimes including murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, fraud, official misconduct, theft, and all types of drug offenses and DWI.
I am a sole practitioner and I will personally be by your side during the entire case working toward an expeditious and favorable resolution for you. My goal is to get you through this without having a criminal record or on a DWI case, without losing your driver’s license.
