The defense and prosecution of claims and lawsuits are the majority of my practice. If you have a claim you wish to pursue, or one is made against you, or you have been served with a lawsuit – I want to help. My experience includes a substantial variety of claims and proceedings in both federal and state courts, including bankruptcy and probate. It allows me to render effective representation for an affordable fee.
The types of cases I have handled over the years are so varied it is not practical for me to attempt to list them all. However, more recently, they have generally fallen into the following areas: real property, business, and contact disputes; legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty claims; petitions and proceedings in bankruptcy and probate; and general negligence and strict liability claims. Less recently, I have defended aviation claims and administrative actions against licensed individuals such as nurses, teachers, professors, and real estate brokers. My experience includes the prosecution and defense of claims involving insurance companies, including coverage issues and bad faith, and appellate work.
There are some types of cases I do not handle. I do not handle tax matters, except in the context of a bankruptcy, probate, or trust proceeding, and then only in consultation with a tax expert. I no longer handle contested family law matters, workers’ compensation claims, or immigration proceedings. Past representative cases are here.
If you are an individual, including a professional, or engaged in a business — chances are I have the experience your matter requires. The best way to find out is to complete the Contact form. If you call instead, be prepared to leave a voice mail message that includes your true full name (first and last), cell phone number, and the reason for your call including a brief description of the legal matter. If your voicemail contains this information, I will promptly respond. All first-time callers are screened for this information to avoid phone spam. Subsequent calls, after your telephone number is recognized, will reach me directly when I am available.
