MY SERVICES

Business law

I focus on providing services to attorneys in the areas of business formation and contract drafting.


With a comprehensive understanding of business practices across Washington, D.C. and Maryland, I can asssist with the documents necessary to create the foundation for an entrepreneurial journey.

I focus on representing individual clients who wish to appeal claims denied by a VA regional office or the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA), and those seeking military discharge upgrades due to an other than honorable discharge.


I also provide services to attorneys such as file review and triage, medical records summaries, development of case strategy, and BVA hearing appearances.

criminal law

I began my legal career as a public defender. I continue in this field providing representation at inital appearances, bond hearings, and working behind the scences to support protection of individual rights.
