I primarily practice in the areas of commercial litigation, corporate law, insurance defense, and estate planning. I have had the pleasure and honor of representing various types of domestic, national, and international businesses, including factoring companies, financial and lending institutions, commercial landlords, commercial and residential construction contractors, transportation entities and brokers, commercial and individual creditors, clothing manufacturers, and insurance carriers. In the area of commercial litigation, I represent a variety of businesses and individuals in prosecuting and defending actions, both in state and federal court, for breach of contract, landlord-tenant commercial disputes, shareholder and partner disputes, breach of fiduciary duty claims, business torts, injunctive relief, fraud, fraudulent transfers, construction law disputes, deceptive trade practices, and other general business related matters. I also represent both secured and unsecured creditors in actions for debt, garnishment, sequestration, execution, attachment, turnover, and other creditor causes of action and methods of relief. I also represent creditors in bankruptcy court. In the area of corporate law, I represent businesses in the formation and dissolution of partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, professional associations, and other business related transactions. I also represent businesses with respect to the interpretation and formation of contracts, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation, and employment agreements. In the area of insurance defense, I maintain an active docket with an emphasis on the defense of personal injury claims along with the defense of trucking and transportation related claims. I also represent individuals with their estate planning needs such as drafting wills, trusts, living trusts, and powers of attorney. I also represent executors in probating estates.
