I graduated from the University of Utah in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and attended the University Of San Diego School Of Law where I received a Juris Doctorate in 1995.. I practice actively in Nevada and California and am admitted to practice before all state courts in Nevada and California and the United States District Court, District of Nevada and the Central District of California.. I practice in the areas of personal injury, automobile accidents, slip and fall, premises liability, product liability, social security disability, consumer rights, construction law and commercial landlord/tenant law. I have  tried many cases in California and Nevada with excellent results. My jury trials have involved automobile accidents, slip and fall cases, complex construction litigation, commercial landlord/tenant, premises liability, general negligence and products liability.. I am fluent in Danish having attended high school in Nykobing, Denmark and enjoy waterskiing, wakeboarding and snow skiing with my two daughters.

I only represent employees owed unpaid wages, overtime, commissions, tips or other money they have earned but not been paid.  I have spent over 30 years fighting to get employees the pay they have earned and deserve, whether overtime pay, commissions, tips, construction work prevailing wages, or other wages.  That has included collecting millions for people who have been denied even the minimum hourly wage.  Among the most prominent cases I have handled was the AOL "volunteers" case involving online "chat room" hosts and other "volunteers" who got paid nothing at all for performing online services for AOL.  That case ultimately settled for $15,000,000 and resulted in payments to thousands of those "volunteers" who otherwise would have received nothing at all.  I have represented thousands of casino employees, salespeople, taxi drivers, food service workers, and different blue collar and white collar workers in a wide variety of industries.. Many attorneys who handle other sorts of cases, such as personal injury claims, also represent workers with claims for unpaid overtime wages or other wages.  While some of those other attorneys may do a good job, collecting money owed to employees is all I do, so if you have an issue with work you have done and money you feel you are owed visit my website and give me a call.  Consultations are always free.  And I never represent employers.
