I work to negotiate the best outcome for my clients. As a trial attorney, I focus on litigation involving business issues, construction, liens and payment disputes, construction defects for both residence and commercial property, delay of claims and insurance coverage. I work with a network of other professionals including transactional lawyers, engineers, surveyors, and lenders to provide top notch service to contractors, developers, property owners, material suppliers and design professionals. I have tried and arbitrated cases throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California over my 26 year career and have earned a reputation as a skilled negotiator who consistently wins cases and settles large cost recovery claims for my clients.
