Biography

I have enjoyed the privilege of being a Legal Expert offering Legal Analysis for local news media on high profile cases. I have earned that reputation through many years of legal experience and opportunities as a lawyer in Kentucky. My Criminal Law and Family Law clients know I am a trusted advocate and a powerful voice on their case and my reviews on Google and other websites show their appreciation for my hard work and the positive results. As the former head of the Violent Crimes Unit for the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney, I know what the other side is planning on your case. I use my 20 years of experience in the Court System and the relationships I have made with current Judges and help my clients get the best possible outcome on their Criminal Law or Family Law cases. Many attorneys will advertise they have "experience" or have catchy slogans but I have as much relevant current courtroom experience on both sides of the table as any defense attorney in the area. With my representation you deal directly with me and not with an associate or paralegal. Please see my 5.0 rating based on over 60 reviews on Google and my perfect ratings on Avvo, Justia and Thumbtack based on my reviews from clients and colleagues.

Legal Answers
Q. Possible outcome?
A: There are a wide range of penalties with those charges. If you’re still in District Court, there’s a chance you could get a misdemeanor on the cases. If you’ve been indicted in you’re likely to get a felony, and if you’re not a prior convicted, felon, felony diversion would be your best bet. Wanton Endangerment is a wide ranging charge because it can be anything from dangerous driving to shooting a gun.
Q. Is it identity theft if a person gives permission for a utility bill to be in their name and then also live at address
A: I don’t understand you’re a fact pattern. It would only be identity theft if someone tries to assume an identity or get a benefit from using another persons identity.
Q. I forgot to pay my court costs and fine for a traffic violation in Kentucky what do I do now?
A: It depends on the county you’re in. Most counties you can just send someone else to pay, but if a bench warrant was issued, you may have to hire an attorney to take care of it.
