PRACTICE AREAS
Criminal Defense
NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS
Everyone, including you, is worth more than their worst mistake.
As a former prosecutor, I have a fundamental understanding of each step in building a criminal case against a Defendant. The question is not whether or not you committed the offense charged; the question is whether the state’s evidence can prove that beyond a reasonable doubt.
During my time as a state prosecutor, I charged and prosecuted various complex criminal cases - from property crimes to murders - and I will scrutinize the state’s evidence with a microscopic lens, advising you of the law and your rights along the way.
I will fight for you, your dignity, and your future. I am not timid about holding the state to its burden and taking your case to trial, by a jury of your peers, if the state is unreasonable in plea negotiations.
I will also advise and represent you in civil expungement proceedings to erase prior convictions from your record, because one mistake (or two) shouldn’t define a lifetime.
Immigration Matters
COMING SOON…
“No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.” - Warshan Shire
We are a nation of immigrants. Our statue of liberty beckons the “[the] tired, [the] poor, [the] huddled masses longing to breathe free.” Despite current wayward political views on this American bedrock, you are not alone. We are grateful you are here, and we want you to stay.
Whether you're facing removal proceedings, seeking asylum, applying for cancellation of removal, or navigating bond hearings, I will walk with you through every step. I will prepare thorough documentation, represent you before immigration courts, communicate with ICE and USCIS on your behalf, and I will fight for you to breathe the air you worked so hard to find.
My goal is not just to protect your legal status, but to honor your dignity and your humanity — because you are more than a case file, more than a statistic, and your journey deserves to be met with both fierce advocacy and empathetic understanding.
Employment Discrimination
COMING SOON…
Whether you are facing wage theft, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at your job, I will advocate for you through fierce litigation while arming you with knowledge of the law.
Employers typically cannot punish you for doing the right thing: whether that is whistle blowing, standing up against discrimination, or even rejecting unwelcome conduct.
Strict time limitations govern these actions, so please seek a consultation - whether with me or another firm - as soon as possible.
Don’t let the bullies win!
