Attorney at Law

As a proud native of Dayton, Ohio, I'm honored to have the opportunity to use my knowledge and experience to serve my community. After graduating from the University of Dayton with a B.S. in Criminal Justice, I decided to remain at the university to pursue my law degree. In addition to earning my law degree, I've also served as a police officer for 5 years, providing me with invaluable firsthand knowledge of the criminal justice system. Now, as a solo practitioner, my goal is to use the insight I've gained from my experiences as a law enforcement officer and an attorney to help my clients seek the justice they deserve.
