If two words can describe my approach to litigation, they are "aggressive" and "prepared." Litigation is a very serious step and often involves claims that are financially and emotionally costly due to their personal nature. I understand that most clients in this situation want an advocate—someone who will vigorously defend them against what they view as frivolous attacks on personal integrity. But it is important to remember that the ultimate test of a lawyer's effectiveness is the value delivered as compared to the cost. Blind or blanket aggression can destroy the cost/benefit proposition. Aggressiveness without preparation and knowledge is a credibility sapper. Seasoned litigators prey on the form-over-substance types. But aggressiveness built on a thorough knowledge of the facts of the case and applicable law is virtually unbeatable.. Litigating contract issues for over twenty years has given me critical insight into ways to minimize contractual and transactional risk on the front end—before the contracts are finalized and signed. True story: I had a two week trial in federal court in Mississippi over whether my clients had breached non-compete and non-solicitation covenants—and the main legal issue revolved around the meaning of the word "otherwise." Of course I cannot say that all disputes can be avoided with shrewd contract drafting, but I can say with confidence that important—and ultimately expensive—ones can and therefore should be.

I practice law as a member of Askman Law LLC. My litigation practice includes representing clients in the firm’s environmental, tribal and natural resource practice areas, as well as litigating general civil matters such as breach of contract and other business claims, health and employment law matters, and regulatory issues.

I help clients evaluate options and identify solutions in the arena of fiduciary litigation. I represent an array of clients in the resolution of probate and trust-related litigation. Additionally, I help clients develop favorable outcomes through alternative dispute resolution when traditional litigation is undesirable or inadvisable. As a member of the Fiduciary Solutions group at Holland & Hart, my practice includes the representation of corporate fiduciaries, individual fiduciaries, heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors in the resolution of probate and trust-related litigation. Specifically, this includes disputes involving fiduciary responsibility and liability, spousal rights, interpretation of wills and trusts, distributions to beneficiaries, will contests, fiduciary compensation, and disputes in which fraud, undue influence, and lack of capacity are at issue.I am an active speaker in the areas of trusts, estates, and protective proceedings, and I blog about these and related issues at Fiduciary Law Blog ().

I have a business background which helps me aid businesses from formation through expansion and even franchising. Most lawyers do not have the practical business experience that I have accumulated over my career. I do not just place agreements and restructure your business based off of the law, I incorporate your operating procedures and work around the hurdles you face on a daily basis so your business will run more efficiently.. I also enjoy handling personal injury cases. I have had some family members go through tragic events prior to me becoming an attorney and I could not stand the treatment they recieved from the insurance companies. I was also not pleased with the communication with our attorney! That was part of the reason I became an attorney; I feel like communicaiton is my biggest strength, you will always get an immediate response from me.. Litigation is a long and painful process. No one wants to be involved in a lawsuit, but a lot of times it is necessary to use the justice system to correct a wrong. I love being in the Courtroom and I am always willing to take your case the distance.
