About My Practice

For nearly 30 years, I have been a trial lawyer, trying cases to both juries and judges. My experience spans civil and criminal matters in both federal and state courts, and ranges from highly complex, multi-party litigation to simple, straightforward disputes.

Sample Areas of Experience

• Wrongful death and personal injury

• Fraud

• Wrongful termination, harassment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress

• Whistleblowers

• Assault and battery

• Shareholder and partnership disputes

• Contract and real estate disputes

• Prisoner civil rights cases

• Class action employment cases

My Approach

The most valuable skill a lawyer can offer is the ability to take a case to trial. A client is underserved by an attorney who only settles cases and has never picked a jury, delivered an opening statement, examined witnesses, or presented a closing argument.

The reputation of being able to take cases to trial can produce tangible results, as case prepared for trial carries greater value than one litigated only for settlement.

The second most valuable skill I offer is knowing which cases are not a good fit for my office. This can be for a variety of reasons. I will try to provide referrals.
