I have provided over 20 years of estate planning and real estate legal services in southwest Wisconsin. I serve La Crosse, Vernon, Monroe and Crawford counties.

I have been practicing Criminal Law since I began my legal career. It is my passion and my focus. I work tirelessly to defend those put in difficult life situations like being charged with a crime(s) or those who may be charged with a crime. I also represent those facing issues such as traffic-related tickets, OWI/DUI matters, small claims lawsuits and restraining orders/injunctions. I truly believe in everyone's constitutional right to an attorney, right to remain silent, and the "innocent until proven guilty" standard.
