An accomplished litigator with a proven track record in high-stakes legal matters, I graduated from the Arizona State University Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, establishing a robust foundation in legal practice. My commitment to advocacy began immediately during an intensive internship with the Maricopa County Public Defender Office, where I gained early and valuable trial experience by skillfully conducting numerous trials and evidentiary hearings. This period of intense dedication to securing favorable outcomes for clients was formally recognized with the prestigious CALI Excellence for the Future Award for obtaining multiple dismissals and not guilty verdicts.
Following law school, I accepted a role as a defense attorney with the Maricopa County Public Defender Office, where I handled a vast spectrum of criminal cases, ranging from misdemeanors to complex felonies. My comprehensive caseload included serious offenses such as assault, DUI, drug crimes, dangerous and gang crimes, and sex crimes, and I also provided significant assistance to the Capital Murder Unit. This experience provided me with unparalleled exposure to high-stakes litigation and complex legal strategy.
Transitioning to private practice, I have leveraged my extensive litigation background to specialize in both Personal Injury and Criminal Defense. In personal injury, I have successfully represented clients in a diverse range of matters—including motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, slip and falls, trucking accidents, commercial liability, and medical malpractice—helping secure nearly $10,000,000.00 in settlement funds. Simultaneously, my criminal defense practice has maintained the high standard of success established in public service, resulting in over 150 dismissals and not guilty verdicts for misdemeanor, DUI, and felony cases across the State of Arizona. I am proudly licensed to practice law in both the State of Arizona and Federal Court.
