I have been a defense lawyer in our nation’s state and federal courts for more than forty years. I am very proud of that and most of my colleagues who call themselves defense lawyers feel the same way.  As a group we tend to be very independent, representing underdogs, minorities, outcasts and those rightly or wrongly accused.

We have our moments of financial success but since we often represent individuals and not by Fortune 500 companies, we typically struggle to make ends meet. We strive for a way of thinking that is akin to the lifestyle of our greatest predecessor, Clarence Darrow.
