Biography

Growing up, I was immersed in sports, which instilled in me a strong competitive drive. That same spirit led me to enroll in a Moot Court class competition during law school, where I argued appellate cases against fellow students before panels of guest judges and attorneys. I earned the school’s award for Best Oralist and received the Eve August Moot Court Scholarship for achieving the highest grade in the class. This success secured me a spot on my law school’s national moot court team, where we traveled across the country to compete.

In 2003, I relocated to Colorado and continued my work as a Deputy District Attorney in Douglas, Arapahoe, and Jefferson Counties. There, I expanded my trial experience handling serious offenses including sexual assaults, burglaries, robberies, and drug-related crimes.

In 2008, I established my own law practice in Denver, where I now represent individuals charged with DUIs, misdemeanors, and felonies. Drawing on 13 years of experience as a prosecutor, I bring a strategic advantage to my defense work. I understand how district attorneys think, what arguments they’re likely to make, and how to identify jurors favorable to our side. With over 150 jury trials under my belt, I spot issues many defense attorneys overlook. My competitive nature fuels
