  • Hello and Thank You for Your Interest. I Want to Provide You with Information
    Hello and thank you for your interest. I want to provide you with information about my legal background. I have been practicing law in state and federal trial and appellate courts since 1988. Although my interests and experience run a wide range, my primary areas of focus center around civil rights work, employment and labor issues, and protecting the rights of individuals whose rights have even violated by others, typically governmental actors and large private employers. I have extensive trial experience in these types of cases, and I invite you to look up the numerous reported cases that I have handled. A sample of several of the cases I have handled is attached, and these cases involve various civil, employment and commercial matters, including constitutional rights, discrimination, employment law and sundry types of commercial disputes, such as antitrust, securities, and contract cases.
