I am board certified by The Florda Bar in both civil trial law and business litigation. Only board certified attorneys can call themselves experts or specialists in those areas of law.
The Boca Raton Observer, a monthly magazine, has named me as one of South Florida's "pre-eminent attorneys" in two categories: business litigation and civil trial law.
In our office, we are passionate about justice. We believe in helping people who have been harmed by the conduct of another. We like to be on the "right side" of a case, and fight for our clients' rights.
Practice areas
I am one of only about 240 lawyers in Florida who are board certified by The Florida Bar as an expert in Business Litigation. I was also the chairman of the nine-member committee that oversees that process for lawyers who want to become board certified in this area.
33 years, 380 cases
