Arbitration is quickly becoming the most common method of formal dispute resolution throughout the United States. As courthouses continue to be underfunded and delayed, companies now turn to arbitration as a cost and time efficient solution. My years of experience in Arbitration make me an invaluable asset to any dispute resolution team.

I advise on both contract formation, drafting and negotiation. After having seen numerous contract disputes arise due to poorly drafted contracts, I know what to look for to minimize the risk of a dispute developing down the road.

I specialize in business litigation, contract disputes, trademark, partnership disputes, product liability, class action defense and shareholder disputes, to name a few. My litigation strategy is always tailored to fit the specific case and highly dependent on the needs of the client. I first identify what a "win" would be for the client, and then create an action plan aimed at achieving that win.

My mediation practice involves identifying and addressing disputes early and aggressively before they evolve into full litigation.
