My practice focuses on helping businesses protect their intangible assets from disloyal employees and unfair competition.. I am a student of the law, with a focus on how lawyers can better meet the needs of our clients. To that end, I am working on an advanced legal degree -- an LL.M. in Litigation Management from Baylor University -- to gain additional knowledge and skills to help me represent my clients more predictably, efficiently, and effectively.. This is my second LL.M degree. After 20 years in practice, I returned to school to receive an LLM in Biotechnology and Genomics from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. The program is the first of its type in the world. Since 2008, I have been an adjunct professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, teaching a course in Trade Secrets and Restrictive Covenants. I also wrote the textbook for the course.. I am a frequent speaker and author on employment and intellectual property issues. I have an AV rating from Martindale Hubbell. I serve on the Board of the East Valley Partnership, a coalition of community, business, government, and educational leaders that advocates to improve quality of life in the region.

I have been practicing law in Arizona since 1988.  I was born and raised in northeastern Pennsylvania, attended the Pennsylvania State University; and obtained my undergraduate degree at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.  I earned my law degree, cum laude, from the Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane Washington.I worked in law firms and as a sole practitioner.  I have represented private and public corporations, individual creditors and debtors, government agencies, local, regional and national financial institutions.  I have experience representing a wide base of client interests.  My practice is now focused on creditor’s rights and commercial litigation.  Early in my career, I gained significant knowledge representing federal agencies in all aspects of closed-bank litigation. I have considerable experience with the enforcement of debt instruments; foreclosure and receivership of real property. I have represented creditors, debtors and trustees in proceedings under Chapter 11 and Chapter 7, and receivers appointed in Federal Court to collect judgments arising out of securities litigation.  I have represented contractors and suppliers in all aspects of construction litigation.  I have successfully asserted bond claims against sureties and pursued lien foreclosure litigation on behalf of suppliers and contractors. I understand the parties’ issues and concerns, and have the experience to offer solutions.  My ability to offer creative solutions comes from representing clients for over twenty two years and seeing issues and resoling them from multiple points of view.I have appeared in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona, in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Arizona Court of Appeals, and the Superior and Justice Courts throughout the State of Arizona.  I earned an AV Peer Rating, the highest, from the Martindale-Hubbell legal directory, which is defined as: "Very high to preeminent legal ability and very high ethical standards as established by confidential opinions from members of the Bar."  I attended the Arizona College of Trial Advocacy (1992) and was a speaker for Lorman Seminars, Advanced Collection Techniques (November 2004); Collection Practices in Arizona (November 2005).
