Since law school, I have concentrated my practice on all forms of dispute resolution. I have practiced in the state and federal trial and appellate courts in Massachusetts, New York, California, Colorado, New Hampshire, Rhode Isalnd and Michigan. I have reepresented clients in negotialtion and arbitration. I alsways try to see if there is a way to avoid litigation if that is the best avenue for my client; if not, I will use every available tool to advance his or her goals.

When you have a dispute, it is best to try to resolve it before you have to go to court. We can help you negotiate a settlement; if that fails, we can represent you in mediation or arbitration, in administrative agencies, or before trial or appellate courts.

I have handled appeals in a variety of substantive areas in both the state and federal courts. These have included criminal appeals, divorce appeals, and appeals dealing with arcane civil issues such as the Massachusetts lead paint law and letters of credit.

I have represented clients in all sorts of criminal matters in both the state and federal courts. Thexe case have run the gamut from a very complicated RICO conspiracy trial in federal court to gun cases to drug cases to DUI cases.

I represent high net worth individuals where there are difficult issues such as evaluating the value of ownership interests in closely held business entities.

I have represented clients whose doctors injured them through their negligence. Among the awards I have achieved were awards of 2.5 million dollars (Erb's Palsy), $850,000. (sepsis), and $450,000. (Graves Syndrome).

I have testified in legal malpractice matters on issues of whether or not the defendant lawyer violated his ethical or professional responsibilities. I testified, for instance, for the plaintiff in which she was awarded a $7,000,000.00 judgment.
