Firm Summary

I advocate for individuals facing criminal investigations or charges in both state and federal courts across central Florida, handling a broad spectrum of cases from misdemeanors and traffic offenses to high-level felonies. This includes white-collar crime and drug trafficking cases. In addition, I stand up for victims of personal injury due to negligence or intentional conduct of others, handling cases ranging from vehicle accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, or assault.

I aim to alleviate the burden and confusion that comes with facing a criminal charge or navigating the aftermath of a personal injury. For criminal defense clients, my firm and I offer clear communication and diligent representation, entering negotiations with prosecutors, and fighting cases as needed.

For personal injury clients, we guide them through their journey from managing their medical care, tracking their bills, and preparing their case for litigation to negotiating reductions in medical bills, aiming to maximize their compensation.

With 12 years of practice, including roles at preeminent law firms and as a prosecutor, I bring extensive experience and high-level representation to my clients. My experience includes over 68 trials and handling some of the most serious crimes. Beyond my personal skillset, I have a carefully chosen, well-trained support team that contributes to the quality of our service.

I’m heavily involved in the local legal community and serve on the executive board of the Orange County Bar Association, which aids in networking and achieving better results for my clients. My firm prides itself on direct and open communication, ensuring that all clients have immediate access to their attorney, which I believe facilitates a faster resolution of cases and stronger collaboration.

• Over 12 years of experience practicing criminal law, including serving as a prosecutor.
• Experience with over 68 trials, handling a variety of cases, including serious felonies.
• Served as the chair of the criminal law committee for two years, and currently a board member of the Orange County Bar Association executive board.

I am a second-generation Central Florida native with strong ties to the local community. I graduated from Winter Park High School in 2004, and from the University of Central Florida in 2008. I continue to reside in Central Florida where I have started my family with my wife Tammy, our daughter Layla, and our dog Winston.

I see practicing law as more than a profession; it is my way of serving the community, helping people, and solving problems. I was drawn to criminal defense and personal injury law due to a strong desire to assist those in dire need of representation and to ensure they’re treated fairly and with the respect they deserve.

My standout qualities are my direct and open communication, my dedication to my clients, and my deep-rooted commitment to my community. I aim to provide the personal touch that often gets lost in larger firms.
