"As a successful trial attorney with a broad civil trial practice, I obtained favorable jury verdicts for each of the following different causes of action as lead attorney: wrongful death, punitive damages, premises liability, business litigation, construction defect, assault, product liability, invasion of privacy, and ordinary negligence. I successfully tried my first wrongful death case (multiple fatalities) to jury verdict in 1997. As an experienced trial attorney, including probate litigation, I have taken hundreds of depositions, attended well over 100 mediations, and have successfully resolved thousands of litigated disputes."
