I strongly believe in providing quality yet affordable legal services to my clients.  In my 27 years of experience practicing law in federal and state court, I have found that hard work, a solid plan, and effective communication with clients are critically important in achieving excellent results.. My practice is divided into two areas:  Ciminal defense and general civil practice.  On the criminal defense side, I represent individuals in a wide variety of cases in both federal and state court.  Most of the cases I accept are those with charges that are not considered crimes of violence.. My general civil practice focuses on represnting small corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships with all of their legal needs.  These areas include business formation, contract negotiations, drafting and reviewing contracts, leases, insurance issues, civil litigation of all kinds, including unfair trade practice cases, trademark and copyright matters, and collections.

I practice in Deutsch Kerrigan’s Maritime department resolving marine and energy disputes for my clients.

I love what I do for a living and I think it comes through in my practice. Since finishing my clerkships, I have represented plaintiffs in complex litigation and have never wanted to do anything else. I have litigated antitrust cases, environmental pollution cases, Jones Act cases, pharmaceutical injury cases, consumer class actions, and mass tort cases around the United States. Many of my cases are referred from co-counsel that I have worked with before which I like to think is a reflection of the results our team was able to achieve for the clients. In 2015, I co-founded Burns Charest with two of my classmates from law school and have continued to represent plaintiffs against some of the largest companies in the world.

I learned early on that as a lawyer, I could change people’s lives for the better.A few years ago, I had a client who worked for one company as a tankerman for 20 years. He was ordered into a crawlhole during a storm to check the radar, and as he was getting out, the boat hit a swell. He was thrown backwards and ended up with a spine injury.. He went from being the main provider for his family to borrowing money to get a Coke and sleeping on people’s sofas.. The day of the trial, the company offered us $100,000.. The jury came back with the verdict of $1.6 million in favor of my client. He hugged me and started crying. His family cheered.. I looked over at the defense lawyer and had an epiphany: His clients never hug him. Win or lose, they would have just argued about his bill.. That’s why I never doubt that I’m on the right side of justice.. When I take on a client, I dive head-first into their world.I want to know what it was like to be there during their injury… What it felt like, what it sounded like, what it smelled like. I want to know what was happening through their eyes.. I deep dive into what their life was like before their injury, and what it’s been like since.. As their attorney and advocate, it’s my job to absorb their story and be in touch with my client emotionally—not only so that they know I’m truly on their side, but also to effectively present this story to a jury of their peers.. Telling that story together... that’s how we win.. Maritime is a very distinct area of law, unlike any other.And not every lawyer understands the ins and outs of these types of cases.I do.
