As Shareholder of Klinedinst PC, I dedicate my practice to all aspects of business litigation, with a special emphasis in civil appeals. I bring nearly twenty years of complex law-and-motion and appellate experience to the firm’s Appellate Practice Group and am knowledgeable in a variety of practice areas.

I am admitted to practice before the courts of the State of California. I am also admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Southern, Central, and Eastern Districts of California, and am admitted to the United States Courts of Appeal for the 8th and 9th Circuits. I was admitted to the United States Supreme Court in 2003.
