Federal and state criminal defense with a practice shaped by digital evidence, cybercrime, and the technology that increasingly defines modern prosecutions.
I've tried over sixty cases to verdict in state and federal court. That experience — and the willingness to take a case all the way — is what changes the calculus for prosecutors, regulators, and opposing counsel.
The second thing that changes the calculus is technology. Modern prosecutions turn on digital forensics, cell site data, device extractions, and increasingly AI-generated or AI-processed evidence. Most defense lawyers don't understand this material. I do. I teach it to other federal defenders.
The combination — a real trial record and a working command of digital evidence — is the foundation of my practice.
I'm a trial attorney with broad federal and state court experience, and I've tried over sixty cases to verdict.
I've represented clients facing a range of federal charges — money laundering, healthcare fraud, Medicare fraud, Social Security fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, drug trafficking, matters involving national security, and other federal and state felonies. Through strategic planning and aggressive pretrial litigation, I've won dispositive evidentiary motions, court-ordered dismissals mid-trial, and government dismissals before trial.
My approach is creative and unrelenting. I use cutting-edge technological investigative tools to conduct sophisticated investigations, and I have extensive experience challenging the introduction of digital forensic evidence, interpreting data from devices and applications, analyzing location data, and explaining forensic reports to juries.
Before launching my practice, I served as an Assistant Federal Defender in the Southern District of Florida and the District of Puerto Rico, and before that, as an Assistant Public Defender in Miami-Dade County for more than eleven years — where I maintained a winning trial record.
I also teach. I lead sessions on technological investigative tools and digital forensics at the biannual Techniques in Electronic Case Management conference, hosted by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts' Defender Services Training Division.
Every client has a story. My job is to make sure it gets told.
