Hi, I’m Leah. I guide individuals through what is often the most difficult experience of their lives.
I defend individuals charged with any type of crime at both the state and federal level. My prior experience as a public defender taught me how to effectively and zealously represent clients from start to finish in the legal system.
One of my proudest moments as an attorney was getting a not guilty verdict on my first jury trial. This was the moment I knew I had chosen the right career path.
I am dedicated to achieving the best result possible for each of my clients, whether that means negotiating a favorable plea agreement or proceeding to trial.
In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends, especially my nephews and nieces.
