I’ve filed many, many motions asking courts to hold the government accountable for bad behavior, and I continue to do so.

I do this work because the truth matters and because my clients’ liberty depends on it.

Sometimes the remedy has to be strong. If misconduct makes a fair trial impossible, I move to dismiss under Washington court rules designed to fix government mismanagement. Other times, the work is slower and very detailed: I sit with the body-worn camera footage and compare it to the sworn reports—line by line, frame by frame. When the paperwork doesn’t match what the video shows, I bring that to the court.

Digital evidence needs the same honesty. If police extract data from a phone or computer, the defense must see the full picture—not just the parts the government decides to keep. When selective retention or destruction blocks me from testing the evidence in context, I ask the court to recognize that prejudice and level the field.

Experts help make the technical clear. I work with qualified examiners who explain proper forensic procedures and point to places where shortcuts or overstatements crept in. That context helps judges separate careful science from results-oriented claims.

Underneath all of this is a simple principle: fairness. A criminal case is supposed to be a search for the truth.

When the government bends rules, hides context, or offers a version of events the record doesn’t support, the truth gets harder to find. By challenging misconduct, I protect my clients—and I try to protect the integrity of the system we all rely on.

If you or a loved one is facing charges in Clark County or elsewhere in Washington and something doesn’t feel right about how the case was handled, I’m here to look closely and act quickly.
