Currently a principal at Conway Stoughton LLC, I am first and foremost a trial attorney. My main area of focus is in insurance defense litigation, including personal injury, premises liability, wrongful death, dram shop defense, unfair trade practices, trucking/transportation liability, product liability litigation and construction litigation. I also handle personal injury cases brought on behalf of injured clients to ensure they receive just and proper compensation. Over my years as a litigator I have tried many cases before the state and Federal courts, as well as private arbitrators, and obtained numerous favorable outcomes for his clients.
