Law Firm Overview

I am a former long time federal and municipal prosecutor. This gives my clients the best possible representation, as I am "in the know" when it comes to best defense practices and how the other side thinks.

I am currently a public defender at the federal, state and local levels. My strength is handling all phases of federal, state and local criminal defense.

Whether your case is motor vehicle, DUI, violation of a criminal statute, or an appeal from an adverse decision, whether it is at the municipal, state or federal level I can bring my years of experience to bear to seek the optimal result for you.

As far as I am concerned, the best defense is a good offense and my prosecutorial background equips me to represent you in the most aggressive way possible.

My mission is to provide you with the highest quality of legal service. My office is in northern New Jersey, and I work hard to protect the rights of individuals and businesses throughout the area. I represent clients in all types of criminal law matters. Individuals and businesses can call on me when they need aggressive and effective legal representation.
