I focus my practice on defending employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators in workers’ compensation matters throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. I regularly appear at agency-level proceedings all the way through each jurisdiction’s highest court system on appeals.Previously, I clerked in the Office of the Attorney General in the Health Occupations, Prosecution and Litigation Division, and then for Administrative Judge Lenore R. Gelfman in the Circuit Court for Howard County, Maryland. In both clerkships I gained valuable understanding of contemporary issues in the dynamic field of health care, as well as behind-the-bench insights into judicial procedure and decision-making, both of which I apply effectively in my present workers’ compensation practice.Beyond my handling of workers’ compensation agency and court proceedings, my exceptional oral and written advocacy skills are reflected in frequent authorship of briefs for submission to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals and other courts.
