I practice in the areas of civil litigation, business law, franchise law and commercial leasing. I pride myself on being able to find practical and creative solutions to complicated problems and obtaining high quality results for my clients.

I am dedicated to achieving good results for my clients inside and outside of the courtroom. My approach to cases is guided by the same client-centric principles which have always been the foundation of my practice. I listen carefully, advocate fiercely and communicate clearly.
