Senior attorney whose practice area focuses on civil litigation, including intellectual property disputes (copyright and trademark), employment disputes (on behalf of employers and employees), contracts, and government contracting and clearance issues. My practice has involved representing clients in various state (jury and bench trials) and federal court matters (to include representation in bankruptcy court, federal district courts, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and a petition before the United States Supreme Court). My strengths include client interaction, legal writing, and oral advocacy. I enjoy assisting clients as they attempt to resolve disputes without court involvement.
