Miami Criminal Defense Attorney & Personal Injury Lawyer serving residents and visitors in Miami-Dade & Broward County, Florida

Thank you for visiting my website and profile. 
When you hire a lawyer it's important that you know about the lawyer's qualifications and experience.  Here is a brief summary about me.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about my qualifications and experience.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree from National University in 2002 while serving full time in the United States Navy. I was in the Navy for five (5) years serving 2.5 years in the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) and the final 2.5 years in San Diego at the 32nd Street Naval Station assigned to SIMA.  Once I earned my undergraduate degree and my commitment with the Navy was complete, I went on to Stetson University College of Law where I earned my Juris Doctor Degree and was awarded the William F. Blews award for outstanding Pro Bono service. 

While in law school, I also earned a Master of Forensic Science Degree from National University and a Master of Criminal Justice Degree from Boston University, completing all requirements online.  

After graduating from Stetson, I joined the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office as an Assistant State Attorney where I prosecuted misdemeanor domestic violence cases, juvenile cases, and felony cases ranging from serious DUIs to armed robbery.  I tried many cases while a prosecutor, including misdemeanors and felonies.

In January 2008 I opened my practice focusing on criminal defense and personal injury and I have been helping people who have been arrested or injured since then.  I look forward to meeting you and letting you know more about me and my qualifications.
