Practice Areas

Ethics and Professional Responsibility 70%

For most of my career, I have devoted the majority of my practice to legal-malpractice actions. I represent and consult with plaintiffs and defendants and also handle abusive-litigation actions, fee disputes, and sanctions motions. I also represent lawyers before the State Bar and assist attorneys with ethics, insurance and risk-management issues.

25 years

70%
Litigation 30%

I have many years of experience in other professional-liability matters, including malpractice actions against accountants, escrow and title agents, and insurance and real-estate brokers. I've handled a wide variety of other civil-litigation cases in state and federal courts, including representation of plaintiffs and defendants in personal-injury and business litigation, policyholders and insurers in insurance-coverage actions, and various parties in contested probate matters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
