You Need Focus and Experience

The principal focus of my practice is appeals in both civil and criminal matters, where I can best put to use my research and writing skills. But after more than a decade of business litigation, its hard to let go completely. So, I also take on interesting cases in my civil litigation and trial practice.

Whether circumstances are forcing you into a lawsuit or you’re already in one and anticipate an appeal, I can help.

You Need More than a Smart Lawyer

Every competent, ethical lawyer works to provide the best representation possible. But you don’t need a lawyer who’s simply ethical and competent. You need that . . .. and more.

You need a lawyer that prepares you for the process of resolving your case.

I know how frustrating litigation can be for the client. The unpredictability. The expense. Hostile questioning, hunting for evidence, making sure evidence is preserved, dealing with stressed out employees and lost productivity. Frankly, it stinks.

Then comes the appeal. More unpredictability. More expense. More stress.

Wouldn’t it be great if your lawyer prepared you to handle all these stresses? That’s exactly what I do.

I Know What You’re Going Through

How do I know what you’re going through? I’ve been the client. I was in-house general counsel for a company regularly involved in litigation.

Because I know what it’s like to be the client, I go out of my way to make sure that my clients are well-informed about their cases and what to expect. If you become a client you’ll know more about your case and the process of getting it resolved than you ever thought possible, at every stage. Whether your case is part of my appellate practice or trial practice, you’ll know what to expect and be ready to meet it. Read more about my philosophy on appeals and trial practice.

Oh, one last thing. I can also put your mind at ease about fees.
