CRIMINAL DEFENSE

When you hire my firm, you work directly with me. I defend criminal cases in Colorado and Alaska. As a former Alaska prosecutor, I know how the government builds a case, and I’ll explain what the evidence shows, what can be challenged, and what choices you have.

STARTING WITH YOUR CASE
I start by listening to what happened and reviewing the charging documents, upcoming court dates, and any conditions you’re under. I explain what needs attention first and what we still need to find out.

​

REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE
I review the materials the prosecution provides, such as reports, recordings, and witness statements. When the case calls for it, I investigate further, look for missing evidence, and assess whether a motion could help.

WEIGHING A RESOLUTION AND PREPARING FOR TRIAL
If the prosecution makes an offer, I explain what it would mean and how it compares with going to trial. If the case goes to a hearing or trial, I prepare to question witnesses, challenge the government’s evidence, and present the defense.

 

COLORADO AND ALASKA
I’m based in Lakewood and represent clients in Jefferson County and the Denver metro area. I also represent clients in Anchorage and elsewhere in Alaska where I can assist.

 

WHEN YOU CONTACT ME
Have your charging paperwork and next court date handy, if available. Let me know which court is handling the case and whether you have an upcoming hearing or release conditions you want to discuss.
