I represent homeowners who have purchased a defective property. The most common defects are leaky basements, displaced foundation walls, leaky roofs, moisture intrusion, mold, failed septic systems, flooding, and failed wells. I litigate claims on a contingent fee basis against prior homeowners, realtors, and inspectors. Claims against prior homeowners are the most common because they have a duty to disclose the defects that they learned about from living in the home. I also represent homeowners who have built a new home or who have made improvements to their existing home, pursuing claims against developers, builders, and contractors. Finally, I represent people who want to purchase property, protecting them through drafting contingencies in the offer and negotiating a release when defects are discovered prior to closing. 

I was born in Milwaukee, grew up in Wauwatosa, and raised my family in Grafton. I attended the University of Wisconsin on the prestigious Evans Scholarship and marched in the world-renowned Wisconsin Marching Band.  I spend time visiting my recent college graduate son and my college freshman daughter and adjusting to our empty nest with my wife. I also enjoy attending sporting events and concerts, weightlifting, reading, and volunteering in my community.
