Scottsdale Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before starting my own legal practice, I served as a prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, gaining substantial criminal trial experience. I spent my last 2 1/2 years there in the Homicide Bureau and the 2 1/2 years before that in the Gang/ROP Bureau, and now I have almost four years of defense experience. What this means for my clients is a deep understanding of the law and procedure in criminal cases. Some of the charges I can defend you against include:

  • Bank robbery
  • Federal drug crimes
  • Federal weapons charges
  • Immigration offenses
  • Fraud, identity theft and other white collar crimes
  • Violent crimes, including homicide
  • Crimes related to the U.S. Postal Service
  • Crimes that take place on federal property

Federal agencies that pursue convictions for these crimes include the FBI, the DEA and even the Secret Service. These law enforcement professionals do not mess around, and neither does the office of the U.S. Attorney, which is in charge of prosecuting defendants under federal law.

Committed Legal Representation in Federal Felony Cases

With more than seven years of criminal trial experience as a prosecutor and now almost five years of defense experience, I am at home fighting for the rights of my clients at trial in open court. I also leverage that experience in settlement negotiations if a plea agreement is something that my clients decide to pursue.
