I have spent my career in criminal and immigration law, and I understand how frightening it can be when the two intersect. Based in Minnesota since 2008, I represent clients facing criminal charges — especially in situations where those charges could affect someone's immigration status. I also help people navigate the immigration process itself when a past arrest or conviction has made things more complicated.
My path here started in criminal courtrooms: first as a prosecutor in Massachusetts, then as a public defender in Illinois. That experience shapes how I approach every case today — I know how the criminal system works, and I use that knowledge to protect my clients' futures on both fronts.
I am fluent in Spanish and have had the privilege of working closely with clients from Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador. I also take on a limited number of international divorce cases, particularly when immigration issues are involved.
Whatever brought you here, my goal is to help you understand your options and move forward with a clear plan.
