In a criminal defense attorney career spanning over 30 years in Washington, Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax, I've zealously fought for clients accused of virtually all types of criminal offenses - from simple possession of marijuana to carjacking, murder, money laundering and international law violations. There is almost nothing I have not already seen and learned to deal with, both in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. I've helped thousands of people get through some of the worst times in their lives. I can help you, too.

I've completed an in-depth advanced training course on traffic alcohol cases approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and become one of only a few attorneys who have earned certification in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. This means I have been trained and become proficient in exactly the same testing and procedures the police officers must use in order to make arrests for traffic alcohol charges. I can spot errors and omissions in their work and reports that frequently result in cases being dismissed.
