I provided representation in direct defense and insurance subrogation/coverage matters, and regularly represented clients at administrative hearings and in arbitration proceedings in both state and federal courts. My approach is to provide cost-effective, creative, skilled representation. My clients included major insurance companies and some of the most recognized architectural and design firms in the world.
