I am primarily engaged in civil litigation in federal and state courts in Virginia, focusing on admiralty and maritime-related cases. I am admitted in Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio. Our Maritime Practice Group provides robust legal support to the maritime industry, including vessel owners, insurers, and waterfront facility operators. I tend to focus on and enjoy matters with complex technical, operational, or engineering issues, and am available to serve as local or co-counsel for vessel arrests or other matters. The firm also supports matters involving employment law, creditors' rights, project financing, and public sector law, to name a few.

Tidewater Arts Outreach shares the joy and healing power of the arts with people who are isolated from society due to age, infirmity, disability, crisis, and/or socio-economic status. It shares nearly 300 programs annually at 65+ locations in seven Hampton Roads cities. I am honored to have served as its board president. To find out more, visit www.TidewaterArtsOutreach.org
