Experience means more than simply the number of years I have practiced law. It represents many long days of putting all of my energy, knowledge and skill into getting the best possible result for each of my clients. My dedication has earned me a wide range of honors and accolades:

  • I have been included in every edition of The Best Lawyers in America since 1991.
  • Since 1993, I have been listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. Only 12 of Delaware's 2,300 law firms, criminal or otherwise, are listed in this publication.
  • I have lectured before law enforcement and judicial conferences.
  • I am AV®-rated* under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system.
  • I have shared my knowledge of criminal law on a variety of national news programs in interviews with the likes of Larry King of CNN, Diane Sawyer of ABC News, Matt Lauer of NBC, Charles Gibson of ABC Nightly News and Jane Pauley of NBC.
  • I have been a legal consultant for MSNBC and CNN.

I understand that good people can be accused of doing bad things. You have the right to turn to an attorney who will stand up for you and work hard to see that your reputation is preserved. I am here to help you exercise your rights.

Whether you have been accused of domestic violence, drug charges, assault and battery, or any other misdemeanor or felony charge, I can help you.
