If you have been accused of a crime, chances are it is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you.  "What's going to happen to me" is a question I am asked all the time in my criminal defense practice. 

 

If you have never been arrested before, you may think of "the system" as some sort of black box that is full of mystery and potential disaster.  I have worked in that "black box" for most of my life and I can help you understand it and get you through it with as little damage as possible. 

 

Courtroom advocacy is a skill I honed by trying many hundreds of cases as a prosecutor for the Delaware Department of Justice and an Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia.  But effective advocacy for my clients depends on more than slick trial skills.  A good criminal defense attorney also needs the skill to see the horizon and know what to expect before it is on top of you. 

 

I have been involved in criminal justice issues since I majored in criminal justice in college, many years ago.  Criminal defense is what I do.  It is more than a profession, it is my passion.  If you cannot reach me at my office, you will find my cell phone number on my answering machine.  You can call me any time, day or night in an emegency.

 

Yes, criminal charges are scary.  You need an experienced guide to help you through them.  We understand that and we're here to help.
