448 S. Hill Street , Los Angeles , California 90013
Practice Areas: Litigation
I love what I do. I get to learn about every industry imaginable, and many that I could never have imagined. I get to meet brilliant, driven and dedicated people, and I get to help them. Some people call it complex commercial litigation, corporate litigation or high stakes dispute resolution. At the end of the day, it's simply helping companies that have a problem. Sometimes a company doesn't even know the exact cause of the problem, but they know that they've been treated unfairly by a business partner, competitor, or even the government. Other times, it's more defined, such as receiving a subpoena in the mail, being sued, or initiating a lawsuit. No matter what it is, it's always about figuring out exactly what the problem is, figuring out the solution that the specific company wants most, and working tirelessly to make it a reality.
