Professional Profile:
15 years experienced trial attorney specializing in local, regional and national civil litigation on behalf of banks, businesses, contractors, corporations, finance companies and individuals both directly and through their insurers in real estate, finance, employment, construction, personal injury and business litigation.
It is my honor to focus on achieving my client’s desired result while keeping litigations costs low. As an experienced trial attorney, I learned long ago it does not matter how much your billable hours are, what matters is whether I obtained my clients desired result. I believe in a resolution focused approach and that includes asserting the closing argument at the outset of the case. As a successful advocate, I will work hard to win on behalf of my client.
