A Former Criminal Prosecutor Devoted To Criminal Defense
My experience working as a Camden County Prosecutor and an Assistant Philadelphia District Attorney provides me with a unique understanding of how the opposition works. Knowing the prosecution’s tactics in prosecuting a case, allows me to craft a defense strategy that anticipates how they will proceed with the case, even before they’re deployed. In addition, I have great relationships with the county prosecutor’s which helps resolve issues in the case. Because of my vast experience and my reputation for fighting for my clients “to the end”, I get the best results possible.
I am certified by the supreme Court of New Jersey as a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney which demonstrates attorney competence in criminal law. The program is designed to help people make an informed decision when selecting an attorney. I was selected by a Board, after demonstrating substantial involvement in criminal matters and demonstrating an unblemished reputation.

I Will Fight For You
I started my career as a criminal prosecutor. That experience allowed me to see just how important a strong defense is for individuals facing criminal charges. In some cases, it can literally mean the difference between life in prison or on the streets. The repercussions of an ill-prepared defense can have a lasting impact on your quality of life. I opened the doors to my own firm in 2006 with one goal: to make a strong defense accessible to New Jersey’s citizens.
