Welcome to Second Look Legal Group

Who I am

I founded Second Look Legal Group to give people a real chance when the system — or their own lawyer — gave up too soon. I bring extensive real world experience in case review, legal research, and working alongside attorneys to prepare strong, organized case materials. My unique background gives me an understanding of how the legal system works from the inside out, and my mission is to ensure that every case gets the thorough examination it deserves.
