"A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and
what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference. " Thomas Jefferson
These words about our Constitutional rights have framed my criminal defense
practice. I firmly believe in serving my clients and my community by ensuring that the
government does not attempt to take away that which the Founding Fathers granted
you.
I have always served my community and attempted to help those in need. Prior to
law school, I worked as a paramedic in many different settings including various
rescue and teaching positions as well as serving on a SWAT team in Texas. These
experiences provided me with many unique opportunities that I have used to my
clients' benefit.
During law school, I worked in the District Attorney's office as well as a major civil
litigation firm. These positions further developed my litigation skills. Since being
admitted to the Colorado Bar, I have dedicated my practice to defending persons
charged by the government with various offenses including DUI and traffic offenses,
misdemeanors and felonies.
The power of the government, via the police and District Attorney, is almost limitless.
Only the criminal defense attorney can provide a check to this power. It is my hope
to provide that check on behalf of my clients.
