“As a kid, I drove my family crazy questioning fairness and power imbalances. As a criminal defense attorney, I get to stand in the gap and fight for those same things every day by advocating vigorously for my clients. The system is daunting but I can help make navigating the system easier and more understandable, while fighting for the best possible outcomes.”
