I’ve been managing partner since 2017. When not herding legal cats, I concentrate my practice in the area of business litigation, and thanks to the diverse practice of KGR, I am able to advise a wide spectrum of clients before federal and state courts throughout Indiana, administrative agencies, and in arbitration proceedings.Due to my unique background, I have learned the importance of understanding the client’s issue, from both a practical and legal perspective, before setting a path to resolve the issue. I understand the importance of keeping a client informed of the latest developments in a matter and responding promptly to client questions.I assist clients in a wide range of matters: Employment issues involving non-compete agreements, discrimination, investigations and litigation of employee theft or embezzlement; financial institutions in work-out and foreclosure matters; fiduciary matters including D&O liability; assisting municipal clients in federal and state litigation; surety and fidelity bond matters, and representing candidates in elections contests and recounts.In addition to litigation matters, I represent small and mid-sized businesses and their owners regarding internal disputes such as minority freeze-outs and claims of breaches of fiduciary duties, as well as external contractual disputes.I previously served on the executive committee of the IndyBar Litigation Section, concluding as Chair for the Section.I have served on the Board of the USO of Indiana since 2017, including as Chair for three years through Covid and the many post-Covid changes. I am so thankful for the sacrifice of Hoosier service members and families and the incredibly dedicated volunteers who serve those service members through the USO.Prior to earning my J.D., I earned an accounting degree from the University of Northern Iowa and completed the CPA Examination, served as an officer in the United States Air Force (primarily as a criminal investigator), and was a Buyer for Honda of America.
