For lawyers, I do research and write major motions and appeals in civil litigation, and provide other assistance with litigation-oriented tasks. I have substantial experience in government contracts, administrative law, commercial litigation, insurance defense, and both federal and private-sector employment law. For non-lawyers, I handle matters relating to guardianship and conservatorship of incapacitated adults, including, where possible, finding ways of helping the elderly to manage their affairs with dignity and independence. I am certified in Virginia as a guardian ad litem for incapacitated adults. In addition, through my relationship with Boone & Associates, P.C., a healthcare and personal injury defense law firm, I can assist individuals with legal problems in those areas.

I was responsible for cases in the U.S. District Courts, Claims Court, and Circuit Courts of Appeal, primarily in the areas of government contracts and challenges to the administration of federal programs. I was involved in precedent-setting litigation under the Equal Access to Justice and Contract Disputes Acts, and handled numerous cases concerning federal housing and energy programs and civilian personnel actions, among other areas.

I was one of the architects of the Division of Consumer Protection's Unfair Credit Practices Rule. In addition to legal research and writing, I performed substantial empirical research on consumer credit problems.
