Learn about my experience and past successes relevant to the following criminal law matters, and how I can help if you have been accused, charged or investigated for a criminal offense.

Full-Service Criminal Defense Practice

DUI: DUI charges can be frightening and may have long-term consequences. If you were stopped and arrested for drinking and driving, or driving under the influence of a mind-altering substance, I can help you try to keep your license and avoid jail.

White-Collar Crime: Contact me if you have been charged with embezzlement, tax fraud, federal immigration violations, harboring illegal aliens, insurance fraud, money laundering, counterfeiting, check fraud, possession of forge instruments, identity theft, possession or use of false id or computer crimes.

Assault/Domestic Violence: It is wise to discuss the particulars of your assault charges with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who knows Kentucky and Ohio domestic violence laws. Perhaps you are a police officer or someone who carries a weapon as part of your job. An assault or domestic violence conviction may put your career at risk if you are no longer permitted to carry firearms.

Theft: If you have been charged with theft in Kentucky, an aggressive criminal trial attorney is an important ally. As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, I have helped negotiate reduced penalties for many clients charged with offenses, such as theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, receiving stolen property, auto theft, shoplifting or embezzlement.

Drug Crimes: I defend people who are charged with possession of a controlled substance, sale, or trafficking of cocaine, crack, marijuana, heroin or illegally handled prescription drugs such as Oxycontin or Ritalin.

Sex Offenses: I aggressively defend clients facing allegations of a sex offense, such as sexual abuse, rape, molestation, date rape, marital rape, solicitation of a minor, failure to register as a sex offender after a conviction or coming within 1000 feet of a school after a sex offense conviction.

Internet Crimes: The term Internet crimes encompasses a wide spectrum of acts, including soliciting minors for sex, identify theft and perpetration of Internet fraud. I vigorously defend clients facing internet crime charges.

Probation Violations: If you are facing charges for a probation violation, time matters. Early intervention in post-conviction matters, such as a probation violation, can make a significant difference in the resolution of the charges.

Child Support Violations: I zealously defend clients who face criminal charges for child support violations, such as failure to pay child support, falsely reporting income or hiding income to avoid child support payments.

Appeals: Many mistakes can be made throughout the criminal justice process. If you believe you received an unjust disposition in your case, I can represent you in an appeal in state or federal court.
