Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. I'm a Virginia attorney who specializes in the fields of Commercial Law and Intellectual Property Law. I'm also experienced in the fields of Employment Law, Veterans Law, Administrative Law, and Auction Law.
My typical clients are businesses and executives looking to grow their operations and evaluate their strategic options. I often aid clients in the drafting and interpretation of contracts, resolution of business and IP-related disputes, and development of new company programs.
Outside of work, I love to cook, travel, and read up on pop-cultural theory.
