I am a trial lawyer. I specialize in civil litigation, legal disputes, and risk management. My firm is a recognized name in civil litigation, particularly the representation and defense of physicians, hospitals and other professionals. Our work spans all phases of legal representation, including advising clients pre-litigation, providing risk management insight and techniques, and defending clients when a lawsuit has been filed. My clients range from physicians and hospitals to insurance companies and business owners. I also represent clients in professional licensing matters, employment disputes, contract issues, and select criminal matters.
I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, backpacking and weight lifting.
