When you’re charged with a crime, it may seem like the whole world is against you. The system is stacked in favor of the prosecution and police, you may lose your job, and family may turn against you. No matter what happens, it’s important to remain committed to fighting the charge so that you can get your life back on track as quickly as possible. With over 35 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney, I’m ready to guide the way.

I’ve represented clients in both state and local municipal courts in drug cases, traffic violations, DWI arrests, and a wide range of other criminal charges. In each case I take, I use my decades of experience to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, explore possible defenses, and seek a reasonable plea offer when one is in my client’s best interests. I will never push you into taking an offer simply so that I can take on more cases – I am fully committed to defending you until the end, and we will work together to seek the best outcome given the facts of your case, the available legal arguments, and your life goals. If you’ve been charged with any type of crime in the Springfield or Southwest Missouri, contact my office today.
