Hands on training from a world-renowned criminal defense attorney. I started my criminal defense career as an associate at the Law Offices of Gerald L. Shargel - a preeminent trial attorney famous for representing high profile defendants in the highest stakes criminal cases. Working with Jerry, I learned from the absolute best how to investigate and build a defense, research and draft creative and persuasive briefs, prepare and try a case, and - when the facts and circumstances call for it - to negotiate a favorable plea and below-guideline sentence for my clients. I will put these skills to work for you to achieve the best possible result for your specific situation.

An absolute commitment to legal excellence and creativity. My clients rely on my limitless dedication and relentless desire to leave no stone unturned to achieve the best possible outcome. As an attorney in the white collar defense group in the New York City office of Winston & Strawn LLP, I represented corporations and executives in investigations and government enforcement actions relating to a wide range of issues including securities fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, political bribery and corruption, sexual assault, False Claims Act violations, and civil RICO claims. The legal skills I developed handling these truly complex matters are invaluable to any criminal or enforcement representation.

Pittsburgh roots and a commitment to our community. As a partner in the white collar and government enforcement group of a midsized Pittsburgh and Philadelphia-based firm, I drew on these skills in successful representations of government entities, large and small corporations, and individuals in a variety of criminal and civil litigation and investigations in Pittsburgh and across Pennsylvania.
