About

Focus of practice: lender representation through all phases of lending, from loan origination and renewals, to workouts and forbearance, to litigation, including receiverships, foreclosures and bankruptcy proceedings, to assisting with liquidation of significant bank-owned assets. Extensive experience working closely with clients throughout the life cycle of the lending relationship, providing insight into the practical issues faced by lenders and effectively providing counsel to lenders. I am an AV rated attorney by Martindale-Hubble. Madison Magazine has recognized me as one of Madison's best lawyers in 2003, and I was named one of Wisconsin's Rising Stars in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 by Law & Politics and Milwaukee Magazine. I was recently named by my peers as a Best Lawyer In America.
