How I Can Help

Clerk Magistrate Hearings (Show Cause Hearings)

If you’ve received a summons for a Clerk Magistrate Hearing, it means the state hasn’t filed charges yet. This is your first chance — and often your best — to stop a criminal complaint before it starts. I represent clients at these hearings to challenge the evidence and argue that no probable cause exists. In many cases, I’ve been able to prevent charges from issuing altogether, helping people avoid the stress, cost, and public record of a formal criminal case.

Criminal Defense Representation

Whether you're charged with assault, OUI, theft, drug possession, or another offense, I represent you through every stage of the process — from arraignment to trial. I investigate the facts, challenge weak or unlawful evidence, and negotiate from a position of strength. I’ve had success both in securing dismissals and not-guilty verdicts, and in resolving cases with favorable plea deals that protect your record and avoid jail time.

Restraining Orders

Restraining orders can carry serious consequences — including damage to your reputation, loss of gun rights, and even criminal charges for alleged violations. I represent clients at both sides of 209A abuse prevention order hearings and 258E harassment prevention order hearings. Whether you're seeking protection or defending against a restraining order request, I prepare thoroughly and advocate clearly to ensure your rights are protected in court.
