As a civil trial attorney with a specialty of products liability defense, I have tried dozens of cases to jury verdict in state and federal courts for over 30 years.  I am sensitive to the needs of self-insured manufacturers and insurers who underwrite these unique risks, and has represented wholesalers, distributors, and retailers as well.  

I am intimately familiar with such issues as: product recalls; conducting evidentiary Daubert hearings in federal court; spoliation of evidence; defenses based on federal preemption; protective orders against the dissemination of internal, confidential, and proprietary trade-secret type design information; and keeping proof of other accidents, claims or lawsuits out of evidence.

As an experienced instrument-rated private pilot, with over 1,700 flight hours since 1989, my flying experience gives him a distinct advantage when he works on aviation-related matters.  

Finally, my extensive jury trial and appellate court experience provides me with a solid background when litigating commercial cases. In Chambers USA guide 2016, I am described as “... prompt, thorough and has commercial awareness” and is valued for the quality of my work.
