I come to the industry with a unique blend of transactional and litigation experience and am equally comfortable drafting and negotiating complex agreements as I am writing briefs and arguing cases in court. I believe good results are achieved by treating others with respect, taking the time to understand all sides of an issue, listen carefully and think critically and creatively. With over a decade of public service under my belt, I know the needs and challenges of public agencies and provide outstanding and timely work product to both my public and private clients.
