For more than 15 years, I have practiced law in Lake County, Indiana. I have brought cases to trial in Lake, Porter and Jasper Counties and have brought cases before the cases before the Indiana Court of Appeals as well as the Indiana Supreme Court. In regards to my education, I have graduated with Honors with degrees in psychology, criminal justice and history from Indiana University-Bloomington. When attending Valparaiso University School of Law, I graduated with Senior Honors. I have carried my scholastic achievement and now instruct students as an adjunct professor for two local universities in the areas of criminal justice, criminal law, criminal procedure, business law and ethics.
