I have spent the past 30 years litigating a wide variety of matters, principally in business litigation and professional liability. This includes many jury trials in the state and federal courts. In recent years, I also have represented numerous executives, many at the CEO and EVP/SVP level, in employment and severance matters. I am national counsel for a major professional liabilty insurer and outside general counsel for a major Massachusetts business active in the construction industry.. Interests include spending time with my two daughters and reading, sports, and art. When I visit a new city, I check first to see what sporting events are in town and failing an opportunity there, will visit the local art museum. Favorites: The Louvre, National Gallery, Metropolitan, and MOMA. Most recent reading "find" is Haruki Murakami, perhaps Japan's most noted novelist today.

I have practiced law since 1981 and am admitted to the bars of Massachusetts, Florida, and the District of Columbia.  For most of my career I was a public defender -- more than ten years as a federal public defender, and another ten years as a state court defender.  I also spent four and a half years teaching criminal defense trial practice at Harvard Law School.  I have tried all kinds of serious felony cases in both state and federal court.  My trials have included rape, murder, burglary, robbery, wire fraud, and conspiracy cases.  I am also an experienced appellate lawyer and I have at times represented my clients straight through the appeals process.

I have practiced environmental law for over 30 years.  While my practice is mainly focused in Massachusetts, because I have clients with operations located out of state, involving federal law, such as superfund and RCRA, I advise clients on these matters throughout the United States. My work has ranged from negotiating a biomass feedstock agreement for a project in Hawaii, to negotiating superfund settlements for sites located in Louisiana and clean up contracts for sites located in New Jersey and throughout the US.  I like to think that my clients are solving environmental problems.  Because they are at the interface between environmental problems, the public and business, they face a wide array of issues.  My job is to help to navigate that maze in a cost effective, thoughtful and responsible manner.  The end result is to produce results for today's businesses and tomorrow's environment.  The breadth and depth of my experience is demonstrated by the environmental due diligence I performed on the acquisition by my client of over 50 hazardous waste facilities located in thirty states, resulting in my client becoming the largest hazardous waste company in North America.  Most recently my practice has focused on development of renewable energy facilities, ranging for solar projects on landfills to utility scale biomass facilities.  I have been very involved with the proposed regulatory changes for the development of anaroebic digestion facilities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  I hope to continue to participate in the development of domestic renewable, cleaner energy resources to reduce dependence on foreign oil.  In addition, I continue to represent a wide array of clients on superfund, c. 21E, RCRA, solid waste, recycling, environmental review, zoning, clean up contracting and related issues.
