My areas of practice include professional malpractice defense, maritime law, and general litigation. I also assist clients with estate planning, provide legal services for the Senior Law Project, and take civil case assignements from the United States Disctrict Court Pro Bono Panel. 

Outside of my legal practice, I enjoy spending leisurely evenings around the city with my wife, Suzie, as well as spending time giving back to the community. I love U.S. history, and enjoy volunteering with projects that educate young members of the community about the law and the history of our country. I am a Mock Trial Coach to a wonderful groups of students at Jefferson High School (Go Dems!), and sit on the Board of the Oregon Chapter of the American Constitution Society and the Committee for the St. Andrew Legal Clinic Race for Justice.
