I have a diverse litigation and mediation practice including successful defense of automobile insurers and their insured customers; product liability claims; and, claims of every nature against employers, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims, trucking accidents, liquor liability for bars and restaurants, construction, medical professionals, and premises liability claims for retail establishments across Oregon and Washington.

For more than 16 years, I have successfully tried cases throughout Oregon and Washington in both State and Federal Courts.  I immediately involve myself in each of my clients’ cases with a keen ability to evaluate liability and damages exposures before substantial fees are incurred.  My work ethic and accessibility make me popular among a diverse range of clients who appreciate prompt answers to complex legal problems.

I have been named among the top lawyers in Oregon by my peers, being identified as a Rising Star in Oregon Super Lawyers magazine in both 2008 and 2010.  I have been selected many times as an arbitrator or mediator in personal injury and commercial matters.
