As a Former Major Crimes prosecutor I began my legal career in the area of Criminal Law as a staff attorney for Capital Collateral Representative (CCR), representing death row inmates. In 1998 while working for CCR I argued before The Florida Supreme Court. In 2001, I accepted an appointment as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Hillsborough County.
As a well-respected Trial Prosecutor in Tampa, I rose to the ranks of Lead Trial Attorney where I handled and disposed of thousands of felony criminal cases with offenses ranging from DUI to first degree murder. While at the State Attorney’s Office I handled one of the first feticide cases which resulted in a Trial. The case aired nationally, and I was interviewed several times on Court T.V. In 2004, I moved to Michigan and accepted an appointment as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Wayne County (Detroit).
In Detroit I earned a reputation as a hard working, aggressive yet fair trial prosecutor. In Detroit I tried 100′s of cases and handled 1000’s of felony cases ranging from first degree homicides, armed roberries to drug trafficking. In 2006, I accepted an appointment with the Michigan Department of Attorney General. At the Attorney General’s Office I worked in the prestigious Major Crimes Bureau as a Senior Attorney handling complicated Criminal cases ranging from Cold Murder Cases, to prosecuting violent gangs in Detroit to complicated Racketeering (RICO) cases.
While at the Attorney General’s Office I was on a special task force unit where I worked alongside Federal Prosecutors and Federal Law Enforcement agencies prosecuting Environmental Law violators and specialized in high value complex White Collar and financial crimes cases.
After moving back to Tampa I established by own firm, Legal Advocate Group P.A., and have taken on Family Law as an additional passion and focus. I strive to get the best outcomes for my clients and their families during their difficult times.
