Legal help across Sarasota County

I represent people throughout Sarasota County, including Sarasota, Venice, and North Port. Criminal and DUI cases here run through the Twelfth Judicial Circuit at the Judge Lynn N. Silvertooth Judicial Center in downtown Sarasota, and knowing the local courts, the prosecutors, and the way local insurers evaluate injury claims is part of how I build a case. I am not a referral service, and from the first call through trial you work with me, not a case manager.

On the injury side, Interstate 75, US-41 along the Tamiami Trail, and US-301 are the spines of Sarasota traffic, with Fruitville Road, Clark Road, and Bee Ridge Road carrying heavy east-west volume, and the roads are busiest exactly when the county fills with seasonal residents in winter. Sarasota Memorial Hospital and Doctors Hospital of Sarasota handle much of the county’s serious injury care, and those records are central to proving the harm. I represent injured people, not insurance companies, and I build the case the way it has to be built to move an adjuster toward fair value.

On the criminal side, I defend DUI, drug, traffic, violent, and other charges in the Sarasota courts. As an ACS-CHAL forensic lawyer-scientist and a former public defender, I work the breath and blood science and the courtroom the way these cases demand.
