Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney in Seattle
As a seasoned criminal defense attorney with over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated my practice to defending individuals facing serious charges in Washington State. Prior to representing defendants, I served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx County District Attorney's Office, where I prosecuted numerous trials involving violent crimes, narcotics, and economic offenses. This unique perspective as both a prosecutor and defense attorney allows me to anticipate the prosecution's strategies and develop effective countermeasures tailored to each case. My practice spans the full spectrum of criminal defense, from misdemeanors to Class A felonies, including domestic violence, assault, sex crimes, drug offenses, and homicide. I am committed to providing personalized legal representation, offering free face-to-face consultations to discuss the specific facts of each case and potential defense strategies.With membership in the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys and recognition as a Rising Star by Washington Law and Politics Magazine, I bring both expertise and a proven track record to every client I represent. My approach combines thorough investigation, constitutional analysis, and aggressive advocacy to protect clients' rights and achieve the best possible outcomes. I hold a Juris Doctor from Benjamin Cardozo School of Law and have been licensed to practice law in Washington State since 2007. My extensive experience includes presenting hundreds of cases to grand juries, conducting trials to verdict, and navigating complex legal issues related to constitutional rights violations. I remain actively engaged in legal education through speaking engagements and professional associations, ensuring my practice remains at the forefront of criminal defense strategies in Washington State.
