My practice focuses on commercial and complex civil litigation, with an emphasis on business torts such as fraud, unfair trade practices and violations of intellectual property rights. The bulk of my caseload arises from investments, business contracts and leases, banking and real estate transactions, shareholder disputes, and construction projects. I have also successfully litigated cases involving non-compete agreements, libel/defamation and Constitutional issues. And at any given time, I usually have at least one bizarre case that simply cannot be categorized. A number of those disputes have garnered national media attention.

My clients have ranged from small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations to government agencies such as the FDIC, and they represent a broad variety of industries including gaming, sports and entertainment, banking and investment funds, solar energy, health care, manufacturing, aerospace, commercial landlords, taverns and nightclubs, and contractors and materialmen.
