I advocate for organizations and individuals before administrative agencies, trial courts and appeals courts, in order to put their most difficult problems in the rearview. Just as importantly, I counsel clients through these problems, helping them understand the range of potential outcomes, so that they can make intelligent decisions about whether to a fight a case all the way through an appeal, negotiate an early resolution, or to take some intermediate path that best meets their goals.

Employers, manufacturers, colleges, universities and healthcare providers hire me to help resolve a far-ranging set of problems: for employers, I frequently handle claims of employment discrimination, retaliation and whistleblower cases, along with wage and hour disputes. I represent colleges and universities in employment cases, along with investigating and resolving general liability claims. For manufacturers, I frequently defend cases alleging that their product injured consumers, including cases involving many hundreds of claimants. And for healthcare providers, I work to resolve allegations that their actions were the legal cause of a serious injury or even death.
