I am an attorney with more than 20 years of experience in all aspects of civil litigation at trial and appellate levels in state and federal courts as well as before domestic and international arbitration tribunals. I have represented all types and sizes of clients from individuals and small family owned businesses to publicly-traded Fortune 500 companies in the major areas of hospitality, commercial real estate, finance, manufacturing, construction, tax-related disputes and labor-related disputes. I take pride in my ability to handle complex litigation matters from the beginning to the end with a focus on the development and implementation of a strategy that identifies the critical facts and action plan to turn a complex litigation matter into winning results for the client. This ability, coupled with my tenacity to discover the critical documents and other evidence in massive discovery, has allowed me to directly participate in some of the largest jury verdicts and settlements in the nation in the past seven years. It has also allowed me to be successful in handling several large tax-related litigation matters as Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands. I represented the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue in a tax dispute involving fraudulent transfer and alter ego claims in connection with the liquidation of oil and gas assets in excess of $15 million throughout the nation.Specialties: Civil litigation at trial and appellate levels,Admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, United States Court of Appeals for the 5th and 7th Circuits.
