Areas of Practice

Services Offered

Appellate Representation.  My firm can handle the whole appeal or work with trial counsel, as appropriate to the case.

Trial Support.  Clients and trial lawyers agree that the best appeal is the one you never have to take. Bringing an appellate lawyer on-board early to help win the key motions at trial can save time, money, and frustration.

Consulting.  A fresh set of eyes can help you persuade your court about the key legal issues in your case.

Substantive Practice Areas

Contract and Commercial Disputes.  I began my career as a commercial litigator in high-stakes cases and can explain how dry legal issues affect businesses in the real world.

Tort Cases.  My firm is not afraid to represent plaintiffs and oppose insurance companies. The little guy is often right.

Statutes and Regulations.  Convincing the Court to accept your reading of a statute or regulation often requires looking at the big picture.

Suing the Government.  I spent years defending the State against lawsuits. Now I work for private clients.

Constitutional Law.  I have won appeals about free speech, due process, equal protection, and even the federal commerce clause. I was also the primary briefwriter and second chair for an important election law case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Internet Law.  I can advise individuals and businesses about the emerging "law of the internet," the complex web of contracts, copyright, trademark law, federal regulation, and state tort law that govern our increasingly online lives.
