In the first few years of my criminal defense practice, I was repeatedly contacted by potential clients on the subject of sexting and revenge pornography.

While I had prosecuted sex crimes in the past, those cases tended to be more of the brutal, violent rapes or rapes by drugging which didn’t necessarily occur between couples or via digital or electronic mediums.

Within the first few cases, I started to see a pattern; a disturbing one, at that.

People were sending and sharing sexual, nude, or semi-nude pictures and videos of themselves with others, seemingly without even the slightest concern.

The questions and red-flags were definitely going off in my head; why weren’t they going off in theirs?

However, in 2015, I felt myself wanting more, so I left the DA’s office to open my own criminal defense practice.

Deep down inside I wanted more.

While I loved the idea of fighting for victims and public safety, I couldn’t ignore the fact that these issues start at a much deeper level.

Holistically, something was missing; that something was awareness and education. Thus began my mission to educate and bring awareness to these issues that I was experiencing daily in my criminal defense practice.

To this day, I represent individuals who are charged with a crime or under investigation by the police, however, an equally important part of my practice is speaking on topics like the dangers of sexting, and the truth and consequences of sexual assault and domestic violence.
