Having started my career as a judicial clerk, I understand the value of effective and aggressive advocacy when litigation is necessary. Litigation can be a high-stakes and often foreign process to many, so my goal is to earn your trust through thoughtful and consistant communication. My experience working for judges in federal and business court helps me understand the ways those courts analyze complex issues. I aim to use that knowledge to help clients achieve their desired outcomes.
