Before law school, I served as a law enforcement officer for ten years. During this time, I received formal training and experience in conducting DUI investigations through the administration of standardized field sobriety testing and the operation of the intoxilyzer 4011 and 5000.
In 1996, I was accepted into the University Of Denver College Of Law. During my law school tenure, I served as an intern deputy district attorney prosecuting traffic cases at trial, and was selected to research, write and submit an appellate brief to the Colorado Supreme Court for its deliberation and consideration on the admissibility of “Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus evidence in DUI cases”
After graduating from law school in 1999, I was immediately hired as a full-time deputy district attorney prosecuting DUI cases and trying numerous jury trials involving complex scientific evidence such as breath, blood and other chemical tests.
In 2002, I opened my own private practice with a concentration on defending DUI matters. Now, in 2008, I am privileged to have the help of a top-notch paralegal (Hayley) who assists me in protecting our client's constitutional rights on a daily basis.
Spending time with my family, including two dogs (one doberman and one chocolate lab); escaping to our farm; waterfowl hunting, and following politics.
