Services
I focus my practice on criminal defense and family law litigation. I handle all aspects of state and federal criminal litigation at all stages of the criminal process: from pre-arrest investigation, to grand jury proceedings, indictment, plea negotiations, trial, and appeal. I have litigated cases involving narcotics, racketeering, homicide, sexual assault, DWI/DUI, domestic violence; wire fraud, money laundering, and illegal trafficking of contraband, among others.
I am equally passionate about helping my clients navigate the emotional yet complex process of divorce and other family law problems. I have extensive experience in all family law related matters such as spousal support and marital property disputes, child support, child custody and visitation, and adoption.
I practice in all state and federal courts in Virginia and in each case, I provide vigorous, aggressive and effective service. I am highly regarded as both a passionate trial lawyer and a forceful negotiator. I am proud of my trial skills and I work to provide attentive, trustworthy and diligent service to my clients.
The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily that he can get you out of a scrape.
