What We Defend

About Rush

Knowing the law is not enough. An effective criminal defense attorney also knows the system and the people of the county where they practice.

For more than 20 years I have had the privilege of being a criminal trial attorney. Twelve of those years were spent prosecuting everything from Speeding Tickets to Armed Robberies as an Assistant District Attorney in Charlotte/Mecklenburg County. The wide ranging experience gained during those years informs my approach to every client I now defend.
