I am a practicing criminal lawyer in Philadelphia, serving Philadelphia, the surrounding counties and all federal courts, nationwide. specialize in areas of federal criminal law. As a federal criminal defense attorney, my one and only goal is to protect you – the citizens of the United States from prosecution by the federal government.

When it comes to toughness, my passion for fighting for justice is key. I oppose overreaching prosecution by the government, and am committed to keeping the government out of the lives of the people. I vehemently defend each of my clients with passion and dedication. When I go to bat for you, rest assured that I will leave no stone unturned and will fight for your constitutional rights.

I began my career as a United States Securities and Exchange Commission Attorney. My understanding of federal prosecutions arms me with perspective and knowledge to defend against the government.

A mentor of mine once told me “the devil is in the details”. This motto has guided me throughout my career as a defense attorney. I pay close attention to every detail of every case from start to finish. This begins with you, the client. Each new client begins with a personal introductory session, where the client is asked to recount the details of the case. Anyone accused of a crime wants one thing: to tell his or her story. I recognize this, and give you my personal guarantee that you will be heard. Once I am retained, my attention to detail goes into over-drive. I carefully analyze the context and facts of the alleged crime with investigators and forensic experts, and evaluate each piece of evidence. I determine which facts are most favorable to your defense and find inconsistencies in the prosecution. At this point, we are armed with a strong defense, and I am ready to proceed the solution that best suits your needs – whether it be going to trial, a plea agreement or some alternative resolution.

I realize that no two cases, and no two clients are the same. Some clients want to take cases to trial, while others may simply want to work out a deal without ever stepping foot in a courtroom. As your attorney, I am your advocate. I will always act in your best interest to achieve an outcome that you are satisfied with. A good defense is based not only on facts, but also considers the possible outcomes for the defendant. By weighing the liabilities in each case, and considering what is at stake, I can create personalized and innovative solutions for your case, and achieve an outcome that cuts your losses and suits your needs.

I listen to all clients, and fight equally hard and tough in all cases, regardless of innocence.I look forward to fighting for justice for you.
