  I am a Past President and current member of the DuPage County Criminal Defense lawyers Association, a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, the DuPage and Will County Bar Associations.
• DUI/DWI
  I began my career in 1987 as an Assistant Public Defender in DuPage County. My first assignment was to juvenile court where I was appointed to represent minors charge with delinquency petitions (alleging criminal violations), as well as act as Guardian ad Litem, for minors that were abused or neglected. I was later assigned to the misdemeanors division. While there, I tried numerous DUI and other matters before various judges and juries. Two years after being hired, I was promoted to Senior Assistant Public Defender and assigned the felony division. I remained in that position representing those charged with the most serious of crimes. Murder, drug delivery, sexual assaults and white collar offense are but of a few of the types of cases that were on my caseload.
• Sex Crimes
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
• Drug Crimes
• Assault
• Murder

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  In 1993, I resigned from the Public Defender’s Office and started my own practice in Oakbrook Terrace where I remain today. While in private practice, I realized that many of the principles and foundations of representing criminal offenders could be of use in other areas of the law. My practice expanded to include Divorce, Family Law, Real Estate, Probate, and Personal Injury cases. I continue to be appointed by the Circuit Court of DuPage County to represent respondents in Sexually Violent Person commitments, Guardian Ad Litem for Disabled adults, and in conflict matters in the criminal division.
