Why should you hire me?
I’m a former Cop, Prosecutor, and Insurance Defense Attorney
As a former Police officer, Prosecutor, and insurance defense attorney, I know how to build a case to win because I’ve done opposing counsel's job.
Former Police a officer
Having a background in law enforcement gives me with a unique perspective and understanding of how police do their job. Because I have done their job, I know how to spot weaknesses in their investigations. This knowledge allows me to look at a case differently than most Criminal Defense Attorneys, because I have experience that they do not have. I understand what it takes to be a cop, which means I know how they are trained, what they focus on, and where their shortcomings lie. So, I can identify potential weaknesses in the prosecution's case by simply reading a police report.
Additionally, I have firsthand knowledge of standards and practices that police use. I know how Standardized Field Sobriety tests are conducted, how to properly investigate a DUI. I also know how citizens are supposed to be searched, when they are to be searched, and most importantly, WHY they are to be searched. I know how traffic stops are conducted and tactics that police use to get you to aid in their investigation against you. I understand the differences in custodial arrests vs. investigative detention. These things allow me to see the investigation that they are building against you in a more wholistic way than most Criminal Defense Attorneys.
That is why having a former cop as your Criminal Defense Attorney will benefit you.
Former prosecutor
As a former Prosecutor, I know how the prosecution builds its case and the strategies they use because I have done the job. This allows me to anticipate the prosecution's moves and develop robust counterarguments to weaken their case. My experience as a prosecutor also allows me to empathize with the opposing side's perspective, which can facilitate negotiation and potentially lead to more favorable plea deals for my clients. As former prosecutor, the State of Georgia paid me to hone my trial skills, making me more capable to present convincing arguments and question witnesses more effectively in the courtroom.
That is why having a former prosecutor as your Criminal Defense Attorney will benefit you.
