I am a trial lawyer, advisor, problem solver and advocate as a Partner and Leader in the Insurance and Catastrophic Loss Litigation Group at Robins Kaplan LLP. My practice focuses on Commercial Property and Energy and Engineered Risks including coverage analysis and subrogation, dispute resolution, strategic advice and trial and arbitration work arising from all types of perils and involving a multitude of risks under all risks, named perils, and builders’ risk policies. I have litigated in state and federal court throughout the U.S. as lead counsel on multi-million dollar, complex disputes. Recently a federal judge commented “you are what trial lawyers should be.”Clients recognize my expertise in property, energy and infrastructure industry claims involving power generation facilities; wind and solar facilities; oil and gas refining, processing and transport including pipelines; supply chain interruption and time element issues; underground mines; and building construction defects. Several years in the insurance industry handling complex claims and leading quota share cases for U.S., Lloyd’s and London Market Insurers is reflected in my strategic savvy, a focused and practical approach to case management, and strong skills as the leader of trial teams. In addition to a dedication to provide exceptional service and common sense advice to our clients, I am dedicated to instilling the same professionalism, responsibility and enthusiasm in our younger lawyers in all practice groups. I am one of the original core faculty instructors of our Exceptional Advocate Training Program a nationally recognized training curriculum designed to develop the next generation of world class trial attorneys by providing vigorous advocacy training conducted by our most experienced partners. My role as an instructor in the firm's legal writing program for associates, and a coach in our Business Development Program, contributes to the excellence and growth of the firm.

Listed skills include Litigation, Civil Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Legal Research, and 14 others.
