I am a criminal defense lawyer and I specialize in representing people with mental disabilities. 

I have fought for the rights of people with all types of issues: autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression, dementia, fetal alcoholism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, post parting depression, and intellectual disabilities.

​I have appeared in state and federal courts from Anchorage, Alaska to Naples, Florida and points in between. I also am frequently invited to speak to other attorneys and judges about representing people with mental disabilities.

I have dedicated my life to the firm belief that people with mental disabilities do not belong in the criminal justice system and that they need treatment,
not jail or prison.

If you have a mental disability and have been charged with a crime or if you have a family member in this situation, I would be happy to speak with you.
The disability should matter.
