Representing Good People Who Make Mistakes With a 21st Century Approach: Mitigate Versus Litigate
I represent the people I do because I believe in them. I believe that they are good people who have made mistakes and find themselves in bad situations. They need help to minimize the penalties they face and they need someone to present them to the prosecution or the court as the good people they are.
Mitigate — to make less severe, serious, or painful; (mitigating) (of a fact or circumstance) lessening the gravity or culpability of an action.*
When good people find themselves in tough situations as a result of mistakes they have made, or as a result of false accusations, minimizing (or mitigating) the penalties they face is the most important thing an attorney can do. Together, we will present the authorities (including the police, prosecutor and the court) with a solid base from which to give you the break we are looking for. I will fight hard to show the prosecutor's office and/or the court that you deserve a second chance.
Providing You With Aggressive Advocacy at Trial
As the prosecutors in the area know my beliefs in mitigation, they do not harbor any bad feelings against me or my clients. For this reason, I am in a great position to negotiate on your behalf to minimize the penalties you may face. However, no matter how much mitigating evidence we provide, sometimes prosecutors' offers are simply too harsh or nonexistent. In those situations, or when you are innocent, we team with experienced litigators who can take your case to trial and fight to protect your rights.
Going Beyond the Courtroom to Give You the Help You Need
Though my primary duty is that of a lawyer, I approach every case with the full intent to help my client as much as possible. That means dedicating myself to shaping how the prosecutor sees your case and achieving a positive result — but it also means that I am here to help you find assistance if you have an underlying cause for your legal situation (i.e. physical, emotional or psychological). I have an excellent team of independent care providers whom I can call upon who will also be excellent experts to testify at trial or sentencing.
