I began my legal career in the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office located in Norristown, Pennsylania.  I spent 6 years in the District Attorney's Office handling DUI, Homicide by Vehicle (some DUI related, some not), Drug, Robbery, Burglary and First Degree Murder cases.  I was promoted to the Chief of Pre-Trials where I trained new Assistant District Attorney's and handled high profile cases.

I left the District Attorney's Office in 1998 and went into private practice where I began defending individuals charged with criminal offenses.  As a defense attorney I have handled DUI, Homicide by Vehicle while DUI, Drug, Rape, Robbery, Burglary and First Degree Murder cases.  Currently, I focus my time on defending individuals charged with DUI and Homicide by Vehicle while Driving Under the Influence .  

I attended Penn State University and Temple University where I graduated cum laude with a B.A. degree in Criminal Justice.  I attended Widener University School of Law located in Wilimington, Delaware where I received my law degree and an American Jurisprudence Award. 

Recently, I have appeared on CN8's "It's Your Call with Lynn Doyle" as a legal expert.  I have been called to the show to discuss the O.J. Simpson case and the Michael Jackson child molestation trial.

I have also been named "Best Attorney" in the 2006 Reader's Choice Awards published by the North Penn Reporter.
