By nature, I am direct. You can rely on me for the concise answer; I am succinct and provide straightforward options, strategies, and advice tailored to meet your goals.
For nearly 30 years, I have represented individuals and companies of all sizes in a wide variety of litigated disputes, including:
- bankruptcy and debtor/creditor issues
- business litigation, both civil and commercial
- violation of constitutional rights
- employment issues
- insurance coverage claims
- intellectual property and technology disputes
- malpractice cases
- non-compete and trade secret litigation
- products liability and mass tort lawsuits
- securities fraud and shareholder disputes
Your best interests are foremost; I constantly weigh risks, rewards, and expenses to achieve optimal results. Focused on resolving cases early, I explore all forms of settlement, but if a fair resolution cannot be attained, I bring vast experience litigating in state and federal courts. I have a proven track record of handling complex, high-stakes cases, including winning a high-profile case that was deemed unwinnable.
Recognizing that my clients have serious issues, I am earnest in my approach. As an advocate, counselor, negotiator, and champion for my clients, I lead with professionalism—honesty, fairness, and respect for others.
