A Foundation Built on Prosecution Experience

My legal journey began as an Assistant District Attorney in Allegheny County, where I dedicated nearly a decade to serving the state. As a narcotics prosecutor, I handled complex drug cases, gaining firsthand insight into how prosecutors build their cases and how law enforcement operates. I also oversaw the Drug Court, a role that required both tactical precision and a deep understanding of the human impact of the legal process.

These years in the DA’s office sharpened my courtroom skills, refined my strategic thinking, and gave me invaluable experience that I now leverage for my clients. I know how the system works, and I use that knowledge to stay one step ahead of the prosecution.

A Defense Attorney You Can Trust

When I transitioned into private practice, I brought with me the tools and insights gained as a prosecutor. My mission became clear: to defend those accused of crimes with the same tenacity I once used to prosecute them.

Whether you’re facing DUI charges, drug offenses, gun charges, or violent crimes, I approach each case with the personalized attention it deserves. Every client has a unique story, and I take pride in shaping that narrative into a strong defense.

Here’s what sets me apart:

Proven Courtroom Success

With numerous victories in both jury and non-jury trials, I am no stranger to the high-pressure environment of the courtroom.

Tailored Defense Strategies

No two cases are alike. I craft a custom strategy for every client to ensure the best possible outcome.

Unwavering Dedication

I treat every case as if it’s my most important—because to you, it is.

More Than Just a Criminal Defense Lawyer

While criminal defense is my passion, my practice also extends into family law and personal injury cases, reflecting my commitment to serving clients in multiple aspects of their lives.

Family Law

I understand the stress and emotional toll of matters like child custody, PFA (Protection From Abuse) orders, and child support. My clients know they can rely on me to fiercely protect their rights and guide them through these challenging times.

Personal Injury

From car accidents to workplace injuries, I fight for those who have suffered due to someone else’s negligence. Unlike larger firms where clients can get lost in the shuffle, I take a hands-on approach to every case, ensuring maximum compensation for pain, suffering, and damages.

A Commitment to the Community

My dedication to justice extends beyond the courtroom. I am proud to serve as the re-elected President of the Board of Commissioners in South Fayette Township, a role that has allowed me to give back to the community I call home.

When I’m not advocating for my clients or serving my township, I am a father to three active boys. Balancing my roles as an attorney, community leader, and family man keeps me grounded and fuels my passion for helping others.
