I'm a 22-year lawyer, practicing in the areas of complex family law and civil litigation.  Most of my cases are high-conflict.  I am acutely aware that my job is not to make my clients' relationship with their (soon-to-be) ex worse.  Years after you forget my name, you'll have to deal with the person with whom you're fighting now.  I am a results-driven, solution-oriented lawyer.  My job is to work myself out of a job.  Each of my clients has my cell phone number.  I am never, ever, out-of-touch.  In addition to my practice, I'm an adjunct professor, teaching family law at Arizona Summit Law School.. I'm 47, originally from New York City, but lost the accent years ago.  I'm married with two teenaged boys.  In my spare time, I write fiction, articles, and collect pinball machines.

I work as General Counsel for midsize construction company.  We build luxury multi-family apartments and have been involved in some of the nicest complex's in the Valley, including Camden Properties, MT Builders and also Mark Taylor properties.  As a construction attorney I deal with drafting and reviewing contracts and agreements.  There is also a need for attention to detail when you are dealing with so many moving parts and other entities.  I also have experience placing liens on properties and also knowledge of Federal Law and employment regulations.. I also protect the interests of my client and employees by making sure protocals are followed and the risk is minimal.

I was born and raised in Ohio, but do not miss the midwestern winters at all and thoroughly enjoy the weather and outdoor lifestyle that Phoenix offers.  When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter and to stay in shape I swim with a master's team (I swam for Indiana University in college...Go Hoosiers!).. I have been involved in health care since law school where I gained valuable experience in the legal departments of two of the finest hospitals in the country: Johns Hopkins (Baltimore) and Rush (Chicago).

I help companies accelerate growth through contract transformation, high stakes deal negotiaiton, new market expansion, M&A readiness, improving deal velocity, and more.

I am focusing my practice on public policy, equine law, land use issues, real estate and business transactions, renewable energy, and my firm can handle family law, litigation, employment matters, DUI, and almost any other legal issue you may have. Let me know how we can assist you.
