With a rare combination of substantial experience at both the trial and appellate levels, I help design and construction industry clients navigate complex and high-exposure matters from the earliest phase of a dispute through discovery, trial, judgment, and appeal. I represent clients across design, construction, architecture, engineering, and real estate in breach of contract claims, professional negligence and premise liability suits, and other complex business disputes that require business acumen and exceptional legal skill to resolve. Trial Practice: Whatever the matter, I draw on my years of experience as a litigator to defend clients’ interests and resolve matters quickly outside of court. But pretrial strategy and a winning track record demonstrate to opponents that I am always prepared to go to trial — and to win. Known for meticulous preparation and vigorous advocacy, I deliver favorable outcomes at trial that clear away obstacles and get clients back to business.Appellate Practice: Most attorneys practicing at the appellate level focus solely on that work, but my practice is different. With a dual focus on trial and appellate matters — and significant experience with both — I am well-positioned to help clients navigate the early stages of a matter with potential future scenarios in mind. This helps clients avoid small missteps in the present that later could become major liabilities, and I know how to defend a case and challenge an adverse verdict. Clients don’t have to call in an appellate specialist because they have me on their matter from the beginning-delivering value at every stage.
