Introduction: I've been pursuing a career in criminal defense since I started college. I studied Crime, Law & Justice and worked for the state Commission on Sentencing. In law school, I worked for law firms practicing civil and criminal work to gain experience before I gained my license. I like fighting to protect people's constitutional rights.

She is an exceptional attorney who will go above and beyond for you. I can't sing her praises loudly enough. She put my mind at ease by doing the foot work regarding my case-making sure we were well prepared and had everything in order to present before the judge. She made herself available at all times and always returned phone calls in a timely manner. I can't speak highly enough of her work ethic, professionalism, attention to detail and genuine care and concern for her clients.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes. As a lawyer licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I am required to take continuing education courses to maintain my license and to stay up on the latest developments in my field.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I provide criminal defense services in all cases but homicide (I'm not death penalty certified). I also draft wills and powers of attorney, which are in many cases simple but essential legal documents. I also represent small businesses in drafting contracts or disputing them.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Many people have negative opinions of lawyers, but society needs lawyers, and one day you might too.
