New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney

I defend people accused of white collar and other serious crimes by federal and state authorities.  I have over 18 years of experience successfully representing clients in federal and state courts, having tried over 40 cases to verdict.  I counsel clients who are under investigation or being prosecuted for such alleged offenses as tax evasion, mortgage fraud, mail and wire fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, environmental crimes, RICO and Hobbs Act crimes, aggravated identity theft, and drug conspiracies.  I am known for my intelligent, compassionate, and persuasive representation of my clients.

A few of my recent successes include trial acquittals of failure to file tax returns and of Lacey Act violations, as well as dismissals of tax evasion and of drug conspiracy charges.  In addition, I obtained a drastically reduced federal sentence for a client convicted of being an Armed Career Criminal, after an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which ultimately led to the vacating of a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, resulting instead in a sentence of “time served” (just under four years).

I graduated with honors from the University of Minnesota Law School and from Gettysburg College.  I serve on the federal CJA conflicts panel for the District of New Jersey, and am AV (“Preeminent”) Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell legal directory, for highest legal ability and ethical standards.
