Law Firm Overview

My Ligonier, Pennsylvania law firm is committed to offering personalized legal services to Pennsylvania residents who have been criminally charged. In addition, I assist individuals who wish to draft a will or trust or administer the estate plan of a deceased person.

I gained admission to the Pennsylvania Bar in November of 1991 and am a member of the Westmoreland County Bar Association. I worked for a prosecutor’s office in 1990 and 1991 and opened my private practice in 1996. My goal is to provide you with skilled legal services that bring a swift and effective resolution to your legal matter.

Vigorous Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Attorney

My criminal defense work involves the dedicated representation of individuals who have been criminally charged in Westmoreland, Indiana, Somerset and Cambria counties. A conviction carries potentially severe penalties that can affect your life for years. I strive to minimize or eliminate charges through negotiation or litigation.

Plan for Your Future Today

Creating an equitable estate plan can ensure that your property and assets are fairly distributed after death. If you are interested in establishing wills and trusts that outline your wishes for asset disbursement, that considers the specific needs of your family, I can help. As an estate planning lawyer, I also assist in drafting powers of attorney, healthcare directives and living wills that express your wishes in the event that you are unable to speak for yourself.
