“Reus sacra res est” — The accused is a sacred thing. This ancient Roman law maxim guides my practice. Every person charged with a criminal offence deserves to be treated with dignity and defended with skill and determination. I approach every case with the understanding that criminal charges affect not just the accused, but their families, their employment, and their future. My role is to stand between you and the weight of the criminal justice system—to ensure your rights are protected, your voice is heard, and your interests are advocated for with full force. I believe in early intervention, thorough investigation, and strategic negotiation. Where possible, I work to resolve cases in ways that minimize the impact on your life. Where trial is necessary, I prepare meticulously and advocate assertively.
