I represent businesses in their legal disputes and lawsuits in the Chicago area. After earning degrees at Northwestern and Georgetown, I began my career at Jenner & Block representing Fortune 500 companies in lawsuits in federal and state courts. I spent the next ten years developing my litigation skills with some very fine lawyers and gaining valuable experience, including U.S. Supreme Court appeals and federal court trials. In 1997, I opened my own law practice.My goal is to deliver high-quality, aggressive litigation services to clients in a cost-effective manner. I have focused my practice on small to medium-sized businesses, partnerships, and entrepreneurs because I can provide them with services superior to the services they usually receive from law firms. These types of clients can be an afterthought at large law firms, whose high rates force smaller cases down to the least experienced attorneys. And many smaller law firms do not have litigators with the trial experience, strategy skills, and smarts necessary to provide top-shelf representation. In addition, I can bring in other talented and experienced litigators, including those with specialized backgrounds, when a case requires it.Specialties: Business litigation including real estate cases, fraud, executive compensation issues, partnership disputes, corporate governance, intellectual property cases, investment disputes, and legal malpractice
