When I graduated law school.... ...I knew I wanted to do something different. For me, I've always known that I'm at my best when I know why I'm getting up in the morning and I can personally connect with the people I'm working with.. My dad opened his independant pediatric practice in 1989, two years after I was born, so I've seen the joys and hardships of running your own business. However, the business environment now is very different than it was in 1989, especially in the area of health care. I knew that was my niche: helping medical practices and business deal with their legal issues BEFORE they become problems and rack up huge hourly billing charges..

I have been a lawyer for nearly 20 years. In that time, I have practiced in areas as varied and diverse as representing clients in contract disputes, real estate disputes, labor and employment disputes, intellectual property disputes, and others. I have also counseled clients on the proper and most beneficial business formation, corporate compliance, raising equity and debt, drafting various contracts and documents for businesses to help them to standardize and streamline operations, as well as other agreements and contracts.. I was also fortunate to have worked in several areas before going to law school. I worked on a congressman’s staff in the mid-1990s. After that, I worked for MCI in its government markets division acting as the pricing analyst on two large contracts exceeding $1.5 billion that provided network connectivity for air traffic control for the United States Department of Commerce. I also worked as the pricing analyst and project manager on a large contract providing telecommunications services to 14 different state offices of the United States Department of Agriculture.. After leaving MCI Government Markets in metro Washington, DC, I came to the New York area in 1999. While living in Washington, I graduated with a BBA in finance in 1993 from The George Washington University. After moving to the New York area, I attended Seton Hall Law School and graduated in 2003.. This hybrid background informs how I practice law and has allowed me the ability to look at issues from a number of perspectives. In doing so, I strive to look at legal problems from a business and legal perspective. Legal services can be pricey, and I work hard to make sure that the value of the services I provide matches the price that our clients pay. It is with this in mind that I look at legal advice, especially in a non-litigation context, as a balancing act. My job is to explain the risks to doing this or not doing that and to assess the likelihood of those events. It is in this process that I work to make sure the client goes into any situation with their eyes open as much as possible.

Although not born in Saint Louis, I’ve lived here for forty years, and consider myself a Saint Louisan.  I’m a graduate of Washington University–Olin School of Business, and Saint Louis University – School of Law.  And in case you, too, are a Saint Louisan, I graduated from Parkway Central Senior High School.. Unlike most of my contemporaries, I did not go directly to law school upon graduating from college.  I spent five years as an Engineer Planner at McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing), managing multimillion-dollar engineering development programs for the United States military and its allies.  Complying with the demanding requirements of government requests for proposals and contractual reporting more than prepared me for the rigors of the law.  It helped me to hone the business sense to not merely identify potential problems/roadblocks, but to actually craft effective solutions, which is precisely how BUSINESS gets done.. Trial Lawyer Experience. I began my legal career as a trial attorney at sizable firms, including one of the oldest insurance defense firms in Saint Louis, as well as the local office of a large international firm out of Chicago.  While there, I engaged in every aspect of litigation, from Pre-Trial Discovery and Dispositive Motion practice up to and including First Chair Jury Trials and Appellate Argument before the Missouri and Federal Courts of Appeal.. Business-Oriented Practice. While initially a litigator, I have spent most of my twenty plus years practicing law representing businesses, large and small.  Due to my business background, I deliberately transitioned to representing businesses, particularly in regard to employment and contractual matters.  In so doing, I’ve assisted businesses from small start-ups to large regional enterprises and Fortune 500 companies including:. 3M, American Airlines, American Red Cross, AT&T, Boeing, Boy Scouts of America, CIGNA, Dierberg’s, Dr Pepper/7 Up, Edward Jones, EMC Corp, FedEx, Frito-Lay, Hallmark, JB Hunt, JPMorgan Chase, LabCorp, Marriott Int’l, PPG, Starbucks, Truman Medical Center, Unilever, UnitedHealth, Walmart, Walgreens, Waste Mgt and YMCA.. Through Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Rating™ my fellow lawyers have assigned me a 5.0 out of 5.0 AV Preeminent Rating – the highest rating available.  After all, that is how BUSINESS gets done!
