Practice Areas: Litigation, M & A, Real Estate, Corporate, Contracts

For nearly 35 years, I have been a general business litigator, with substantial experience in jury trials, bench trials and all forms of alternate dispute resolution.  Over the years, I have also developed considerable experience in handling complex estate disputes and legal malpractice cases and have extensive experience in dealing with disputes arising out of M&A activity and commercial contracts.  My cases have often involved extensive use of expert witnesses, particularly those involving business valuation, value of services and other complex economic issues.. Apart from litigation, I have also negotiated mergers and acquisitions, documented complex real estate financing ventures and drafted a great many contracts.  For approximately four years, while a partner at a large multinational law firm, I also acted as outside general counsel for a mid-sized government contractor (approximately $500 million dollars in annual sales), including the provision of advice on all aspects of its business operations.. With the Butzel Long platform, my colleagues and I are capable of efficiently handling all types of cases, from multi-district class actions involving billions of dollars to relatively small contract disputes.

I have been a trial lawyer since 1974. I completed 5 years in the Office of the Solicitor, Division of Civil Rights, U.S. Dept. of Labor and departed in the position of a Senior Trial Attorney. I litigated numerous class action civil rights enforcement cases seeking compliance with the obligation of federal contractors not to discriminate and to take affirmative action. One such case was against Uniroyal Tire & Rubber Co., Inc., alleging sex and race discrimination. The government was successful and Uniroyal was “debarred”, by Order of President Gerald Ford, from engaging in contracts with the United States until they came into compliance with their civil rights obligations.. I began at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. in 1980. I became the Managing Partner in 2005. I have represented thousands of individuals injured as a result of the carelessness of others. I have focused a lot of my energies on the representation of individuals with traumatic brain injuries. I am a founding member of the Brain Injury Association of D.C. (BIADC). I currently serve as Vice President of BIADC and assisted in the drafting of the Athletic Concussion Protection Act of 2011 – a District of Columbia law that protects youth athletes suspected of sustaining a concussion from reentering play unless cleared by a healthcare provider.. I represented approximately 15 of the families of developmentally disabled wards of the District of Columbia that died in the D.C. operated group home system. A plaque memorializing the deaths of these individuals has been placed in their honor, as a result of this litigation, outside the door of the Director of HHS of the District of Columbia. I have represented numerous children that suffered brain injury at birth as well as individuals that suffered profound brain injury as a result of the use of cyanoacrylate (the chemical equivalent of Superglue®) as an embolization device. I have also successfully represented a 6 yr. old child that suffered profound brain injury as a result of near drowning.. In December 2012, I was elected to the Board of Directors for the Brain Injury Association of America. In January 2014, I was elected to a 2-year term as Treasurer of the Brain Injury Association of America.. Some highlights of 2014 and 2015 include the continued successful management of Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. and the mentoring of all partners and associates regarding trial technique and litigation strategies, as well as the approaches most likely to lead to the successful resolution of cases with values of approximately $1,000,000 or more at mediation.. I was counsel of record in Peluso-Riti v. Treeman, Inc., et al., which concerned an incident that resulted in our client having to undergo surgery to replace a fractured screw which was placed in her back in a pre-accident surgery. Unfortunately, one of the prongs of the instrument used to insert the disc material broke and remains inside Ms. Peluso-Riti’s spine. This case was favorably resolved by settlement.. I am also counsel of record in Galloway v. Alexandria Transit Company, et al. which involves a lady who was injured when she was struck by a bus while she was crossing in the crosswalk. Our client was dragged under the wheel of the bus which resulted in severe, permanent injuries. This case is scheduled for trial in the Fall.. The law firm has filed a class action in Jane Doe 2, et al. v. Georgetown Kesher Israel, et al. regarding the videotaping of women while they were participating in a religious ritual bath known as a "mikvah" at Kesher Israel Synagogue under the supervision of Rabbi Freundel. Rabbi Freundel has been sentenced to more than 6 years in jail but the civil case is proceeding.. The law firm filed Green, et al. v. Cosby, et al., a case which seeks compensation for injuries to the reputation of the Plaintiffs sustained as a result of the alleged defamatory comments by Defendant Cosby and/or his agents. As managing partner, I assist in the development of the litigation strategy.. In short, my entire career has been dedicated to successfully representing those that have been adversely affected by the careless behavior of others.

Practice Areas: Litigation, Telecommunications, Appeals

I became a lawyer because I wanted to use my strategic abilities to help others solve problems; I remain a lawyer because of the satisfaction of working with clients who are on the cutting edge of innovation and shaping the world around them. And that’s why I founded Innovista Law.. My telecommunications practice has run the gamut, but my most challenging and rewarding work involves competitive carriers that are taking on the established incumbents through new service offerings or business models. I have also defended several companies on class action cases filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).  My telecommunications work has taken me across the country and even into foreign nations. These multi-prong disputes often involve challenges in federal and state courts, as well as before the Federal Communications Commission and state regulatory agencies. They require a deep understanding of litigation strategy and regulatory policymaking as well as technical knowledge. I have also helped give voice to competitive carriers on issues of national importance, including representing national trade associations on issues involving the regulation of the open Internet and on access charge reform.. Working with clients that are at the intersection of technology and social innovation to create great positive impact is another area that has always inspired me. In this arena, I have been fortunate to work with the U.S. Department of State on projects in Brazil, to lead a national conference with the Corporation on National and Community Service around technology and social impact, to work with companies that are bringing the innovative broadband services to the most rural parts of our country, and to collaborate with the nation’s leading producer of educational and information television programming to impact lives through technology.. Previous Work. Prior to starting Innovista Law, I was an attorney in the Telecommunications Pracitce Group at Arent Fox.  I have also served as director of programs and general counsel for a social enterprise focused on building the capacity of economically distressed communities and on preparing college students for successful careers as leaders of social sector organizations.
