I want to obtain the most favorable result – whether that’s a positive jury verdict, settlement, dismissal as a matter of law, or receiving a nonsuit judgment on the courthouse steps due to an aggressive and strategic defense. I’m proud of my successful track record for over 20 years of outworking my opponent with a keen attention to detail to advocate for my client’s best possible position, no matter what that looks like.

He has obtained successful outcomes from juries, and he is also adept at maneuvering through the litigation process to obtain a “win” at multiple points before a case ever appears on a docket.
