ATTORNEY AT LAW
If you’ve been accused of a crime, you are up against a tough criminal justice system. The prosecution team has all the resources of the government behind it, which is why you need an attorney who can aggressively fight back for you to the fullest extent possible.
I provide experienced legal advice and representation for people who have been accused of crimes in Rhode Island. With 20+ years of experience as an attorney, as well as my many years as a prosecutor for the police department, I have the kind of courtroom experience that defendants need for the best possible results in fighting their charges.
CRIMINAL DEFENSE

The Right Kind of Experience for Criminal Cases
Everyone deserves access to the best possible defense, whether they’re facing DUI, drug charges, domestic assault & battery, or other criminal defense charges. That takes not only experience but the right kind of experience.
My experience as a police officer gives me a unique perspective on criminal law. Knowledge of both sides of the courtroom, inside and out, provides me with an extra layer of expertise. My diverse experience provides a solid foundation for courtroom expertise putting my negotiation skills to work for clients in the criminal justice system in misdemeanor and felony matters
Full Access For All Clients
Part of delivering top-notch service to legal clients is providing easy and full access for communications. That’s why I give all of my clients my cell phone and they can text/call me whenever they want. Clients of my practice are never left wondering about the next step, the status, or anything else about their case.
