My primary areas of focus include insurance defense, trucking and auto defense, professional liability defense, fire and construction litigation and premises liability defense.  Practicing in Southern Indiana and Kentucky since 1989, I have successfully represented numerous corporations, businesses and other individuals and entities in civil litigation matters.    I have also previously served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Clark County, Indiana, for 8 years handling major felony cases, and an additional 2 1/2 years part-time as a narcotics prosecutor .  I feel that my past experiences help me be a more efficient and effective attorney for my clients. I have personally tried fifty jury trials in both criminal and civil matters in Southern Indiana and Kentucky. I have also handled a number of appeals in both Indiana and Kentucky, including oral argument before the Kentucky Supreme Court.
