Passion- "There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those."
DWI defense is my passion from zealous representation of my clients to lobbying efforts for fairer DWI laws. I am truly blessed in that I get to dedicate my life and practice to something I truly love and believe in.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-Benjamin Franklin, 1759.
This is one of my favorite quotes because it is so true of what many jurors feel in a DWI case. They hear the prosecutor argue the safety of our streets as if this should be the justification for convicting a person opposed to the particular facts in a case. Yet many people are persuaded that they must make a verdict a public policy statement as opposed to a decision based on facts and the law. These people lose sight of the concept of 'not guilty' until it is too late, until it is them.

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government purposes are beneficial. The greatest dangers to liberty work in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding."
