I help clients win and definitively resolve their complex business disputes through trial in state and federal courts, arbitration and mediation. My work is concentrated primarily in the Pacific Northwest, but spreads throughout the United States. I advise individual entrepreneurs, officers and directors, public and private companies, investors, property owners, and government agencies on a full range of complex commercial disputes, fraud claims, product liability, and risk management. My clients' industries range from securities and finance to real estate, technology, telecommunications, hospitality, retail, and yacht manufacturing. A significant portion of my practice is representing and advising property owners and agencies in eminent domain proceedings. I regularly advise yacht manufacturers on a wide range of manufacturing, finance, distribution, and dealer issues. I have extensive experience in state and federal trial and appellate courts and before arbitration panels in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Texas, New York, Rhode Island and Maryland, having tried nearly 50 cases through jury verdict and several cases through appeal to Washington and Federal appellate courts.Specialties: Complex Business Litigation; Complex Real Estate Financing; Eminent Domain; Real Estate Tax Credits and Exchanges; Recreational Maritime Manufacturing, Distribution and Dispute Resolution; E-Commerce & the Internet; Copyright and Trademark; Natural Resources including Timber, Gravel, Concrete & Asphalt.
