I represent clients in business and commercial litigation covering a range of matters, including product liability, employment, shareholder disputes, breach of contract and construction litigation.
My Approach
I grew up on a small family-owned dairy farm and learned the value of hard work right from the start. My goal is to always be the best prepared attorney in the room, both on the facts and on the law. Clients count on me to know every single fact, in and out, and know how best to apply them to the key legal principles at issue. I’ve litigated in nearly 30 states over the last 15 years. No matter the type of case—product liability, employment, shareholder litigation or construction—I work with my clients to understand everything I can about their business and their case. Then, I fight hard to make sure they get the representation they need.
Outside of work, I am passionate about community theater and local politics.
