Avoiding litigation where possible is the best strategy.  I can review situations and advise clients on minimizing risk.  Sometimes, real-time advice is the most cost-effective and relationship-saving avenue because it allows parties to work out potential conflicts instead of waiting until the end of the project when positions have hardened and the parties feel more invested in litigation.  As a Judge Pro Tem for the past ten years, I have settled hundreds of cases and am skilled in alternative dispute resolution.

When problems cannot be prevented or resolved through planning or negotiation, I am prepared for aggressive prosecution or vigorous defense of the client's legal rights.  I have successfully represented individuals, small businesses, and large corporations in actions in both state and federal court in cases.

For individuals, I have represented clients in the following types of actions:

-  Wrongful death and serious injury;

-  Medical malpractice;

-  Construction contract breach;

-  Product defect,

-  Intentional and negligent tort cases resulting in physical injury (including environmental and vehicle incidents).

For small businesses, I have represented clients in the following types of actions:

-  Breach of contract;

-  Theft of intellectual property;

-  Unfair competition practices;

-  Construction issues;

-  Tort actions;

-  Bonds.

For corporations, I have represented clients in the following types of actions;

-  Bonds;

-  Breach of business contract;

-  Employment discrimination;

-  Bad faith;

-  Bankruptcy claims and petitions.

I also have experience representing clients in proceedings before administrative agencies and arbitration panels.
