About
I am an experienced trial attorney with a demonstrated history and passion of working in the legal profession; historically focused on Criminal Defense (from traffic tickets to high end felony cases/allegations) as well as various other practice areas related to criminal law/defense (Orders of Protection, Expungements, etc.). I have a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from The University of Tulsa College of Law (2002) and I am licensed to practice law in three states: OK (2002), MO (2006) & IL (2007).
I truly enjoy helping people navigate their various legal issues knowing that without my assistance, the outcome would not likely have been the same. Potentiallly changing the course of a cleint's life is a very humbling and rewarding profession.
