My law practice is devoted exclusively to civil trial matters, focusing on commercial disputes and business torts (breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, misrepresentation, real estate, misappropriation of trade secrets, construction, technology, securities, and derivative claims). I work for people I like. They tend to be independent-minded, risk takers, and leaders. I like to think I possess those same character traits. I suppose it’s no coincidence that many of my clients have become close friends. I believe this connection, combined with the relentless preparation of the client’s case, predisposes juries in my client’s favor. I believe fervently in the dual role a lawyer serves – advocate and counselor. In the courtroom, I am a reasoned but passionate advocate. In the boardroom, I endeavor to show the client both sides of a case and provide an accurate assessment. I am not reluctant to recommend a course of action if it makes sense for my client and their business, even if it means less personal financial return.

It is my job to effectively represent my clients in a place where few people ever hope to go, the courthouse. Whether it is a company or an individual, I stand between my client and justice. Courtrooms are intimidating places where life-changing events occur. I believe that when your life or business is harmed by another, you need someone with a strong will and confidence to speak for you. That counsel and representation is not just in the boardroom or in a hearing, but also in front of a judge and jury where the most critical decisions are made.

Years of trying high stakes cases have perfected my strategies on how to win. The death of a child, the future of a company, the crippling of a healthy, contributing citizen, all these things I have argued before juries. Consider it fearless advocacy for my clients.
