My Four-Step Course Of Action

I take a detail-oriented approach to traffic violation defense matters:

• First, a full interview to get the details and information about the circumstances of the traffic stop
• Second, I will ensure the police officer followed the correct procedure and informed you accurately about the purpose of the stop
• Third, Work aggressively to scope set up the most effective strategy for success
• Fourth, I will be present at your hearings and trial and will question any witnesses the police may bring against you
