Dedicated to Criminal Defense and Personal Injury
My dedication to helping people with important legal needs across Northern New Jersey is strong. I have worked in the law since 1995, gaining valuable experience that has shaped my approach to achieving positive results for my clients.
My practice is focused on providing able, aggressive criminal defense for people facing a wide range of charges, and on representing personal injury victims seeking compensation after a car accident or other devastating event. In addition, I am well equipped to provide counsel on family law matters such as a divorce or domestic violence.
Aggressive Defense of Your Rights in Criminal Cases
I take a compassionate but straight-talking approach when you require criminal defense, helping you form realistic expectations and choose the best legal options. My experience as a lawyer enables me to capably handle New Jersey Superior and Municipal Court cases, including:
- Drug offenses - ranging from disorderly persons offenses for possession of a small amount of marijuana, to indictable offenses involving a large quantity of any controlled substance
- Assault, including simple or aggravated assault and domestic violence cases
- Theft of property or services, under a wide range of circumstances
- DWI — an offense with potentially severe consequences whether you have been charged as a first-time or multiple-time offender
- Traffic offenses — including driving with a suspended license, no insurance, and a full range of other serious traffic violations
- Filing for an expungement to eliminate prior offenses from your record
Obtaining Compensation for Personal Injury Victims
When you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, my knowledge of insurance claims and current case law is a strong asset in pursuing a sizeable settlement for you after such events as:
- Car accidents or other roadway accidents involving trucks, motorcycles, buses or trains
- Slip-and-Fall accidents that qualify for workers compensation, or justify a premises liability action
- Workplace injuries involving negligence by parties other than your employer
- Dog bites or other animal attacks — if physical or emotional personal injury occurred, I will work hard to prove negligence and pursue a damage award.
If I pursue your personal injury case, you will owe no attorney fees unless I am successful in obtaining compensation for you.
