I am a dedicated and experienced criminal defense lawyer of Peoria, Illinois. I represent my clients with passion, creativity and integrity. With over 17 years in trial experience I have the tools to get you the best possible outcome. I believe in fighting the good fight. I fight hard in the courtroom to get evidence suppressed and clients acquitted, and I work just as hard outside of the courtroo
m to get cases dismissed, charges reduced, and offers made better. I do this because I think our justice system works best when I give my best to it. I defend my clients, first, by understanding them. I strive, at every turn, to understand the unique challenges and goals that each client brings to my office and to meet those challenges and goals with compassion, expertise, preparation and innovation. I empower my clients to change their lives. I know that some of my clients are falsely accused; but others are struggling with social, economic, medical, psychological, or familial issues that have brought them to the criminal justice system. I go beyond the legal issues in those cases and attempt to address the underlying causes of each client's involvement with the criminal justice system. I empower. I represent the good in people.
