I’ve dedicated my legal career to safeguarding individual rights within the criminal justice system. As a seasoned criminal defense attorney in Indianapolis, I’ve navigated every facet of the legal process, from jury trials and appeals to suppression hearings and post-conviction relief. My experience extends to civil rights actions, forfeiture proceedings, and even representing law enforcement officers facing legal challenges.

Recognized by the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys and the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys, I’ve earned a reputation for excellence in my field. I’ve shared my knowledge as a law professor at Indiana University and served as a Judge pro tem. My commitment to justice is evident in my successful representation of clients, including a class action lawsuit challenging Indiana’s vehicle forfeiture statute and numerous cases against the Department of Corrections and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

I believe in providing accessible and effective legal representation. My goal is to ensure that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to fight for their rights. Whether you need assistance with criminal defense, expungement, forfeiture, or civil rights matters, I’m here to provide the guidance and support you deserve.
