My partner and I almost exclusively represent clients that have come into contact with the criminal justice system, either through investigation, pending charges, or convictions. We handle all aspects of the criminal process from pre-indictment to post-conviction.
My area of concentration is postconviction cases in both state and federal court. I have represented clients challenging their sentence, conviction or continued confinement in the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Missouri, Southern District of Illinois, Northern District of Georgia, and Northern District of Indiana. I have also represented clients in Missouri challenging their convictions and sentences including clients sentenced to life without possibility of parole and to death.
In addition to my post-conviction work, I have represented clients charged with crime in both federal and state court at the trial level and on direct appeal.
