Since graduating from Macalester College (St. Paul, Minnesota, Class of 1983) and Washington University School of Law (St. Louis, Missouri, Class of 1986), the next fourteen years have been spent successfully defending adults and juveniles accused of crimes at the trial and appellate levels. This is the only area of law I engage in, allowing me to maximize my ability to bring your case to a successful conclusion even if it means taking your case to the Wisconsin Supreme Court where I have argued and won. Fourteen years of focusing on one area has provided me with the ability to ensure your understanding of the legal process every step of the way. This maximizes your ability to provide input and assistance at each critical juncture. I learned early on that success is a team function. A team consisting not only of attorney and client, but investigators and other professionals with whom I work to assist in successfully representing clients.

Should you need legal representation . . .

The criminal justice system can be a mystifying process to those who are not familiar with its procedures. I take the time to make sure my clients fully understand how the system works so that they can participate in their defense. To further support their defense, I have developed a network of investigators, forensic specialists, and expert witnesses representing a variety of subject fields.
