In 2006, I founded my own law firm with a colleague. It is here where I learned the trials, challenges, and rewards of running a small business in Nevada. My primary focus was family law, criminal law and personal injury claims. I also served as an arbitrator and volunteer truancy judge. In 2016, I accepted a position with the Office of the Special Public Defender handling complex criminal cases in Clark County. I have received an "AV Preeminent" attorney rating by Martindale-Hubbell, a testament to the fact that my peers have ranked me at the highest level of professional excellence.
- I will uphold the law and respect the people. I believe in "Justice with Dignity" and am eager to work hard to improve the quality of the judicial system through integrity, honesty and hard work.
- As a Nevada resident for over 25 years, I am committed to our community and dedicated to progress. Nevada is a great place to live - let's keep it that way.
- As an experienced, qualified, and highly respected attorney, I pledge to be fair and impartial in applying the law and firm when administering justice.
