Trial Experience For You

Welcome

I have been a lawyer in Florida for 25 years, including the past 22 years in Putnam County. In April, 2002, I left the Putnam County State Attorney's Office as Deputy Division Chief and opened my own law office in Palatka.

Many of you know my trial experience as a prosecutor in Putnam County for over eight years. Some of you may know me from the six years as an Assistant Public Defender in Putnam County before I became a prosecutor. On both sides, I tried many high-profile cases, including murder cases.  One such murder case, the John Silva case, was televised on Court TV.  In all, I have tried well over 270 jury trial cases during my time as both a defense attorney and a prosecutor.  

The private practice has grown tremendously in the past nine years. Much of our business comes from word-of-mouth referrals, particularly from former clients. It also helps to be located across from the courthouse.

Just so that you know, although I am licensed to practice anywhere in Florida, I do most of my work in the Northeast Florida region, which includes Putnam, St. Johns, Clay, Flagler, Duval, Volusia, and Alachua Counties. Occassionally, we are retained in areas outside those counties.

I now have 25 years of total legal experience for you, which also includes family, corporate, and general civil litigation. To find out more about my legal experience and background, click on to the "Experience" link above.

Now, let me put my years of trial experience to work with you. I have set up a general practice that covers primarily criminal defense and divorce law, DUI, expungements, custody, personal injury, medical malpractice and general business litigation.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask me to send you free written information about my qualifications and experience.
