In the realm of criminal law, a guilty plea or guilty verdict does not always conclude the case. The pursuit of justice sometimes extends beyond sentencing, leading to the appellate process.

After passing the bar exam, I was hired as an assistant attorney general in the criminal appeals division and successfully argued to uphold convictions in all three of Missouri’s appellate courts. 

These combined experiences gave me a unique advantage once I entered private practice and began representing criminal defendants in both the circuit and appellate courts.
