I an associate in the Civil Litigation, Family Law, and Probate Departments of Feinberg, Mindel, Brandt, and Klein. My practice focuses on all areas in civil litigation, with a particular emphasis on business dissolution, real estate, and contract disputes. I am equally experienced in Probate, and represent clients on trust, conservatorship, guardianship, and Elder Abuse matters. In addition to the foregoing, I handle various family law matters on occasion.

I also have experience with 850 Petitions, seeking to obtain and access both real and personal property controlled by third parties.

Similarly, I frequently make appearances in civil matters, where I have taken and defended depositions in various complex matters, including  specific performance of a multimillion dollar buy-sell agreement, and an employment trade-secret matter. I am experienced in enforcing Judgments, including Motions for Charging Orders, Writs of Execution, and Defaults. I have particular experience in Anti-SLAPP cases, as I have been on both the prosecuting and defending end of such matters.
