Public Defense Attorney
The Downtown Defender
I am the Contract Public Attorney in Las Vegas Municipal Court, Department 4. I maintain a limited private practice representing Individuals in criminal matters, specializing in the Municipal Courts of Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City.
DEFENDER of the
INDEFENSIBLE
They don’t call me when things are easy. I’m the Downtown Defender—the one who steps in when the odds are stacked, and the story doesn’t quite add up. No glitz, no glamor—just long hours, tough cases, and people who need someone in their corner. In a system that can roll right over you, I make sure it slows down long enough to hear your side—and I make them play by the rules while I fight to get you the best outcome possible.
Public Defense Clients
If I’ve been appointed to represent you, you can expect the same experience, expertise, and dedicated defense I provide to every client. However, because I handle a high volume of cases, I ask that you follow certain guidelines so I can continue delivering the strongest possible representation to all those I serve.
Why Hire the Downtown Defender
As an attorney with a public defense contract, I am in court every day, handling hundreds of cases each month. I go to trial regularly and have a strong sense of which arguments are effective and which strategies lead to the best results. In addition, my 14 years as a District Judge give me valuable insight into what judges need to hear and consider when making decisions.
Flat Fees most cases
Take the guesswork out of legal fees and stop worrying about how much time your lawyer is spending on your case. With high-volume experience, I know how to manage cases efficiently and focus on getting results. While my fees may be higher than those of some “discount” lawyers, I bring 30 years of experience—and 14 years as a district court judge—to your defense.
