thousands of cases in numerous areas of the law.
Over the years, I have
developed a special interest and extensive knowledge in representing
people regarding child abuse related cases. I have handled criminal and
domestic cases involving alleged sexual assault and false allegations
of child abuse. The most difficult cases are those of the falsely
accused. These include adults accused of adult rape and adults and
children accused of molesting their own children, stepchildren or
others. Each case is different and the facts and circumstances need to
be thoroughly explored. Of the numerous cases I have tried to a jury,
the vast majority have resulted in acquittals for my clients.
I stay informed of the current research in these areas. I attend
conferences around the country where I often lecture and meet some of
the top experts in the areas of psychology, psychiatry and medicine. I
have been able to use the services of these experts to help explain to
juries how false allegations come about and how many doctors
misinterpret what they see as alleged sexual abuse, when it may not be
abuse at all. Just because an alleged victim says it's so, does not
make it so!
I have handled a number of drunk driving cases, including homicide cases as a result of alcohol abuse.
I have handled drug cases ranging from minor offenses to substantial
quantities of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, PCP,
LSD and others.
I have hundreds of clients who refer cases to me. Numerous attorneys
have contacted me to assist them or handle cases for them in a number
of areas of the law. I do not like to lose and I will work hard for you
to try and receive the best possible result.
I have never entered into a partnership with other lawyers for a
number reasons. However, I share office space with several other
lawyers who are of great assistance to me and my clients, including
Adrian P. Cimerman, Carla B. Davis, Jill M. Varnes-Richardson, Scott E.
Spencer, George Gernot III, Amy E. Stoner and Geoffrey A. Cottier.
We
are capable of handling criminal and traffic cases, family law cases,
personal injury and malpractice cases, real estate matters, probate and
most other areas of the law. If we are unable to handle your problems,
we can refer you to competent counselors who can.
