Having been in practice over 35 years, I can truly say I love my work. Through the practice of law, we as a firm are dedicated to making a difference by bringing value, common sense and insight to our clients. Sometimes I believe the work I do can best be described that of a "cleaner." I enjoy the challenge problems that appear unsolvable. While I can never promise solutions, my life experiences have served me well in providing strategic advice in complex matters including disputes among shareholders and members of LLCs, professionals facing a termination, and litigation. Acting as general counsel to a diverse companies, I advise business and technology clients of all sizes. Our job is to look beyond the problem presented and focus is on all aspects of business including succession planning, employment, sales and acquisitions of businesses, transactions, entity advice, business planning and protection of intellectual property assets. Working as a mediator for the Circuit Court of Montgomery County has been rewarding to me. Private mediation and arbitration have also been a great source of satisfaction. Business Planning includes planning for families and successor generations. By understanding our clients' interests and goals while maintaining continuous contact, we are able to act as an advisor to families.Representing attorneys has qualified me to teach and write about Professionalism for lawyers. Disputes occupy an important part of my practice. I hope to make a difference y identifying the true source of the issue and thinking strategically. Sometimes, solutions are only available in litigation. Specialties: Broken transactions and problems that clients cannot resolve on their own. Sub specialty is representing attorneys and other professionals who leave and join new firms.
