Practice Areas

Litigation 95%

For 17 years I was counsel for a national insurer and I currently represent people and businesses being sued for a variety of claims ranging from general liability and business disputes to catastrophic injury and wrongful death.

26 years | 2,000 cases

95%
Arbitration 5%

Most of my work is as a sole arbiter in mandatory arbitration, stipulated to by parties. I am known for being thorough, fair, and well-reasoned in my opinions. I am respected on both sides for my even-handedness. I also serve as a panel arbitrator.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
