Experience matters when you’re charged with a criminal offense.
Being charged with a criminal offense can be one of the most stressful and exhausting moments in a person’s life. Whether charged with a misdemeanor or a major felony, the repercussions can be life-altering, as the consequences can range from heavy fines and probation to possible jail time and a permanent criminal record. This is why having an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side is essential for protecting your rights and getting the best possible result.

The legal system is complex and difficult to navigate without the necessary information and expertise. A competent attorney—like you will find with me—understands the complexities of criminal law, procedural restrictions, and courtroom tactics.

How long have you been practicing law?
I’ve been practicing law since 1986 and bring over three decades of courtroom experience to every case I take on. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from first-time misdemeanors to high-level felonies. I’m also proud to be one of only two board-certified criminal trial lawyers in Ocala, which reflects a deeper level of experience and professional commitment to criminal defense.
What types of criminal charges do you handle?
My practice includes a broad range of criminal offenses, such as drug crimes, domestic violence, weapons charges, probation violations, and theft-related cases. I also represent clients facing serious felony charges and those charged in federal court. Each case is unique, and I work closely with my clients to build a strategy tailored to their situation.
Do I need an attorney even if the charges seem minor?
Yes. It’s a mistake to underestimate the impact of a seemingly minor charge. A conviction can lead to fines, probation, jail time, and a criminal record that follows you for life. I work to protect your future by ensuring your rights are respected and every legal option is considered. Whether the charge is small or severe, I give each case the attention and effort it deserves.
