In cases involving theft and fraud, I understand that freedom and reputations are at stake. Careers can end in a split second following an allegation of or arrest for embezzlement. Lives change following an arrest for shoplifting or credit card fraud.

- Retail theft — A criminal record can impact a job search or result in fines or a jail sentence. You may feel embarrassment and want to handle the matter in an manner that is best to protect your future. I handle these cases efficiently and pursue the best outcome, including restitution to keep your criminal record clean.

I have handled various types of complex white collar crimes and navigate through the complex paper trail. I understand the stakes my clients face and provide aggressive advocacy to even the odds they face.

Manufacturing fake credit cards or forging an application can lead to high-level state and federal felony charges. I bring experience and legal knowledge in handling all aspects of these complex theft cases at the misdemeanor and felony levels.
