I have practiced law for 37 years and was a trial attorney from 1989 to 2019. I am now a full-time mediator. My experience in the court system leads me to believe that mediation is often a better alternative than court action.. By mediating early in the process, the parties can save a great deal in attorney’s fees, and be spared prolonged anguish and frustration. My goal is to help you resolve your legal disputes in the most cost-effective and satisfying way possible.. My philosophy:   Chances are your case will settle. Over 90% of them do. You might as well try before you and your money are exhausted.

I am organized, aggressive, focused and understanding as an advocate.  I have a terrific rapport with fellow lawyers and Judges.. From a personal standpoint, I have raised two wonderful and successful daughters as a single parent.  I enjoy travel and all types of outdoor activities.

My fields of expertise include product liability, claims management, and contracts.  I have litigated hundreds of cases with very good results.  I have also overseen ("Quarterbacked") hundreds of product related claims with a very high rate of success resulting in significant cost savings to the companies I have been retained to help.. I have been involved in all aspects of civil and criminal litigation, including but not limited to personal injury claims, government tort liability, breach of contract, real estate/business disputes, professional liability, securities, misdemeanors and serious felonies..
