I am a nationally board certified trial attorney and I chair my firm’s Complex Litigation Department.

I practice nationwide in both state and federal courts and I’m regularly appointed to serve as lead counsel in class actions and MDLs.  My cases are varied, and include defective pharmaceutical drugs and devices, consumer rights, overtime violations, antitrust and environmental tort. I've successfully represented tens of thousands of individuals in class actions involving unpaid overtime, misleading product labels and consumer rights, and environmental disasters.  I also represent individuals in personal injury and mass tort cases. In addition, I also regularly represent institutional clients, such as municipalities, healthcare plans and unions in complex litigation matters. Through the years, the Michigan legislature has asked me to testify on Medicaid fraud qui tam bills and bills to repeal Michigan's drug product-liability immunity law.. Examples of my past class action cases include insurance abuse cases against Allstate, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Lawyers Title Insurance; consumer protection cases against Ford, Alltel, and AT&T; and overtime claims against Boar’s Head, Kaiser Permanente, Comcast and Quicken.  I’ve handled price-gouging claims and personal injury cases against the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly and Abbott. I have successfully prosecuted environmental tort cases on behalf of residents enduring the effects of chemical spills and air pollution in cases against National Steel, ATOFINA Chemical, Inc., Dow Chemical, Inc., and Waste Management, Inc.  Lastly, as aboard certified trail attorney, I have extensive trial experience as lead trial lawyer, including in 2006 the first Pacers-Piston's Brawl case arising out of the high-profile 2004 incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Practice Areas: Class Action

I graduated in 1977 from my home town law school, Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, with honors (J.D., "cum laude"). My early experience included working as an assistant prosecutor handling trials of serious criminal prosecutions. This was valuable experience and training for my many years of later work handling serious injury cases and consumer class action cases.. In my leisure time I enjoy long distance running and biking. I used to be pretty competitive, having completed many marathons all over the world. For the past few years I've been less competetive and enjoy just getting out for a run or bike ride whenever my schedule permits.
