About
I am an experienced trial lawyer whose practice is focused on commercial litigation and professional liability defense. A significant part of my practice involves claims against directors and officers, attorneys, and certified public accountants by solving issues involving ethical questions and conflicts of interest. I've also handled a variety of cases arising out of business disputes, including claims involving breach of contractual obligations, breach of fiduciary duty, securities fraud and RICO violations.
