Credentials Matter But Nothing Beats Hands-On Experience and Expertise!

I am a twelve-year Veteran of the U.S. Navy and a retired 20-year law enforcement professional.

Over the course of my police career, I served in three Colorado agencies and have extensive training in criminal investigations, traffic violations, DUIs and standardized field sobriety testing (the "roadside maneuvers").

I have worked as a member of the Motorcycle Traffic Unit, as a Technical Accident Reconstructionist, as a Patrol Sergeant, a firearms and tactics instructor, have made countless DUI and criminal arrests, and conducted hundreds of investigations.

After graduating law school, I worked for a prominent criminal defense firm on felony and misdemeanor cases and as a prosecutor before opening my own practice. I use my extensive training and real-world experience to safeguard the rights of the accused and protect those wrongly charged.

Simply put, I know the system from the inside out.  The criminal justice system can be complicated and unnerving.  As a former police officer and prosecutor I know how the system works and how to win.
