Currently at Pierce Atwood, I work from our Providence office focusing on commercial, construction, and ERISA litigation. In my construction work, I represent contractors and other entities in all manners of disputes, including mechanics' liens, construction defects, contract drafting, and navigating clients' interactions with state agencies. I have experience in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts and the American Arbitration Association in all aspects of litigation, including investigation, discovery, trying and arbitrating cases, and resolving matters by way of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation. I regularly represent clients in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and in a variety of federal courts in the northeast through my ERISA work.Prior to practicing, I clerked for Justice Francis X. Flaherty of the Rhode Island Supreme Court and had clinical experience as a Rule 3:03 prosecutor in the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office (Boston, MA). Through both positions, I received significant appellate writing, oral advocacy, and trial experience that I carry over into my practice today.I live with my wife and two children in Providence, where I'm glad to continue to build my life and legal practice.
Listed skills include Civil Litigation, Legal Writing, Mediation, Appeals, and 1 others.
