Members of Congress, federal judges, fellow attorneys, and thousands of clients have relied upon my work.  I have contributed to briefs for two cases before The Supreme Court of the United States.  Legal scholars have cited my work in the Texas Tech Law Review, The Royal Society Publishing, and the Connecticut Law Review.  I have tried hundreds cases, including felonies, misdemeanors, and civil cases.  I have also pursued appeals at all levels of Virginia state courts.  I have taught several undergraduate legal courses in addition to practicing law.  Now in private practice and volunteering as General Counsel for a non-profit company, I continue to apply and develop my legal skills.
