CRIMINAL DEFENSE - VIOLENT CRIMES
I have a particular interest in self defense cases, believing everyone can and should defend themselves in the face of uninvited aggression. These situations can involve both domestic situations, as well as stranger cases. I have extensive self defense training myself, and have completed training courses at Insights Training Center in Seattle and Thunder Ranch in Texas. This experience and insight allows me to compellingly argue your case. I am intimately familiar with the issues involved in such cases, and can quickly get the literature and the experts we need to back up a client's version of events that culminated in their use of force.

Even where self defense does not apply, there are other defenses that may come to bear on the defense of person to person crimes. This is an area where thorough investigation, and the proper use of experts may be vital to saving a client from the dire consequences a conviction would bring. I represent individuals charged with assault, domestic violence, murder, manslaughter, robbery, and other violent felony charges.
