I have over a decade of legal experience.  After graduating magna cum laude from Duquesne Law School, I first served as a law clerk to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice.  There, I learned, from a judge’s perspective, how (and how not) to persuade a judge to find in your client’s favor.  

I later worked for a large and well-respected civil litigation firm headquartered in downtown Pittsburgh.  There, I learned the arts of litigation and trial advocacy from one of the top civil trial lawyers in the country.

For the past several years, my practice has focused on criminal defense.  I first served as an Assistant Public Defender in Allegheny County.  I then left the Public Defender’s Office to launch a private criminal defense practice.  I have successfully represented thousands of clients facing criminal cases at every stage of the process, including the pre-arrest, preliminary hearing, trial, appeal, and PCRA level. 

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children.  And when I find the time, my favorite hobby is running, and I try to run as many local races as possible.
