I was born and raised in Miami, FL. I attended University of South FL where I obtained a BA in Political Science. Stetson University College of Law is where I graduated from in 2005 and received my law degree.  I began my law career right away as a prosecutor at the Broward State Attorneys Office. I was a sex crimes prosecutor during the last three years in the same office. During that time I have tried over 50 jury trials as first chair. I went into private practice specializing in foreclosure law and defending the rights of financial institutions as a litigation attorney. I found much passion and success in doing this and continued doing the same thing even after switching firms. Over 70 non-jury trials have been handled during my employment in this field within the two firms combined.  After ten years of practicing law I finally decided to open up my own practice specializing in criminal defense, family law and immigration.
