What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I believe it is important for clients to understand their legal rights and to be kept fully informed of all aspects of their matters and cases.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
Yes.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
The decision was a natural progression from my life-long interest in politics and government.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
Thirty-one years successfully litigating hundreds of civil cases before state and federal trial and appellate courts, administrative agencies and commercial arbitrators have helped me be a better lawyer. The years have given me extensive experience in trademark, copyright, corporate and commercial law, federal and state securities, broker-dealer liability, employment, professional liability, distribution, international trade and all business tort and contract disputes. I have also achieved the highest "AV" rating by Martindale-Hubbell.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
Our clients have shown an increasing need for intellectual property representation, which correspondingly has become a major growth area of the firm's practice.
