I am a 1988 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a 1991 graduate of the Marquette Law School where I was editor-in-chief of the Marquette Law Review.  Our firm assists other lawyers with discovery reviews, drafting motions, and handling appeals and petitions for review, including writs of certiorari and habeas corpus petitions as well.  I have authored dozens of articles which have been published in the Wisconsin Lawyer, Kentucky Advocate, Drinking/Driving Law Letter, and DWI Law & Science Journal, among others.  Additionally, I co-authored the Wisconsin OWI Prosecutor’s Manual and the Second Edition of Traffic Law Practice & Procedure for the State Bar.  I have lectured at more than three-dozen seminars inside and outside of Wisconsin, including law enforcement and judicial seminars.  I was the attorney responsible for cases such as State v. Alexander and State v. Busch, the latter which resulted in the exclusion of all Intoxilyzer tests throughout Wisconsin due to the DOT’s impermissible upgrading of the instrument without adequate recertification (that is, until the Wisconsin Supreme Court broke my heart by electing to reverse the court of appeals).

​

I am also the past president (long past if you're keeping score) of the Young Lawyer's Division of the State Bar and have served on both the State Bar's Board of Governors and its Executive Committee.  Additionally, I served on the Criminal Law Section board and have served on a variety of ad hoc committees charged with the responsibility of improving the delivery of legal services to the public.

​

I am licensed to practice in all Wisconsin Courts, the Eastern & Western Federal District Courts of Wisconsin, and the United States Supreme Court.
