I am Board Certified in Construction Law by The Florida Bar and spent over 10 years in private practice at a boutique construction law firm before going in-house with a nationally top ranked general contractor. Considered an expert in my field, I have authored various chapters in editions of The Florida Bar Construction Law and Practice Manual, and have led various Construction Law courses for ABC of Central Florida. In private practice I handled a wide spectrum of commercial construction-related matters representing owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, gaining substantial litigation and trial experience. I assisted clients throughout all stages of a project including contract drafting and negotiation, lien and bond claims, defect and design issues, delay claims, and other various contract disputes. While in private practice, I was also selected to the Super Lawyers' Florida Rising Stars list from 2020-2023, an honor bestowed to no more than 2.5% of the lawyers in Florida.Currently, as an in-house counsel at Cianbro, I provide legal support and advice for the vertical construction Building group, and support other business units within Cianbro, including R. C. Stevens Construction Company. I serve as the legal authority for contract negotiation, administration, project support, and dispute resolution and provide contract risk assessments for management.
