For the past 10 years I have worked in private practice with specialization in civil litigation, specifically; Oil and Gas, Wills and Trusts, Transactional Real Estate, Business Corporations, Tax and Employment Law. I have worked on some high profile cases and look forward to talking with you, whatever your legal circumstances.

White Collar Criminal Defense
The Federal government is as aggressive as ever when it comes to prosecuting white-collar crime, especially during these times of extreme political polarization. Our legal team has represented some high profile clients in cases related to health care fraud, public corruption, real estate financing crimes, embezzlement, banking, and corporate crimes. We believe individuals accused of white-collar crimes deserve to be represented with a combination of aggressive and novel defense strategies calibrated to the facts and circumstances surrounding each and every case.
