I am a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer in Florida and a certified circuit civil mediator. Over the years I have participated in the leadership of a number ofprofessional organizations as reflected in teh associations portion of this website. In addition, I have published a number of articles in my field of practice and frequently lecture at professional conferences.
