I have a passion for helping businesses and people in the business world. If you get sued or have to sue another business, customer or ex-employee, or business partner, I will develop the right, cost-effective strategy with you. You hire me, you get me. I won’t hand day-to-day management of your matter to a revolving door of overpaid, undertrained associates.
I primarily work for executives, high-level employees, and private companies, serving as outside general counsel and litigation counsel on various contract, employment, and business matters. I would love to learn more about your business and discuss how I could be of service to you. There is no substitute for my over 25 years of experience handling business and employment litigation. I’ve been rated by Superlawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, Expertise.com, and others
