I have thirty years' experience in successfully resolving business disputes through litigation, mediation, and arbitration. My first focus in each case is preparation of a thorough, analytical and practical assessment, working with the client to develop an accurate picture and a strong, sensible strategy for optimal resolution at controlled cost. Each client has personal access to me throughout the representation, but we also have a "deep bench" of support in all relevant areas of legal expertise. My goals are to continue to improve in all aspects of the complicated problem-solving that we do, and to make each client a satisfied continuing member of a mutually beneficial network.. Business and partnership restructuring and separation; fiduciary and directors' and officers' disputes; patent, trademark and copyright litigation; bankruptcy litigation including claims resolution, contested matters and adversary proceedings; international arbitration.

As chair of the firm's litigation practice, I specialize in business litigation and construction law. My experience includes all phases of litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Prior to entering the legal profession, I worked as a subcontractor in the construction industry for several years. I currently represent many area construction material suppliers and subcontractors for a variety of issues.

After litigating cases for 18 years, I determined to pursue a better way of resolving disputes by learning the art of mediation.  Bringing those skills to divorce mediation helps empower the indiduals involved by allowing their voice to be heard and by allowing them to to find a path forward shaped and agreed to by those who live with the issues day-to-day.   Although the process can take time it usually results in a better outcome and sets the stage for a better future than if the outcome is set by a Court.
