. I am a proven trial lawyer, having represented hundreds of business and individual clients, either as plaintiffs or defendants, in civil cases in all state and federal courts and before administrative agencies.   I am known as a smart, aggressive, fearless litigator, willing to take on tough “bet-the-company” cases.  I will put my record of success up against anyone’s.

I also am an experienced business lawyer, providing transactional advice and representation to a variety of small and mid-sized companies and well-funded start ups with respect to such matters as entity formation and governance, commercial transactions and contracts, board and management disputes, licensing, and employment.  I have particular expertise in hospitality law as the result of representing numerous restaurants, hotels, wineries and vineyards.
