I specialize in criminal defense cases in the District of Columbia. I provide general client representation, with services including consultation with clients, representation at arraignments and preliminary hearings, case investigation, consultation with expert witnesses, witness interviews in preparation for hearings and trials, plea negotiations with the government, and motion practice and court hearings related to such issues as admissibility of evidence, trial litigation, sentencing mitigation, and probation matters - anything related to client needs in criminal cases.
