Over 100 hours in various legal areas in the past 5 years. I teach seminars, primarily in the areas of insurance litigation and employee benefits litigation to fulfill part of my continuing education requirements.

I have published numerous articles on both insurance and employee benefits law but I have not published papers in the area of real estate litigation.

Recent notable decisions in which I represented prevailing parties include McCalla v. Royal
Maccabees Life Insurance Company, 369 F.3d 1128 (9th Cir. 2004) (Rule 59(e), FRCP, governs post-
judgment motions for prejudgment interest, and a motions submitted by plaintiff two years after entry of judgment is late and therefore barred by the Rule); Achtel v. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company 2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 5228 (9th Cir. 2000) (Summary judgment was properly entered in ERISA benefit claim case, where disability claimed was due to an illness or injury which commenced prior to policy reinstatement; defendant demonstrated that there was no issue of material fact requiring
trial of the claim), and Carl v. Steelworkers Western Independent Shops Pension Plan, (Docket No.
1670 SBA, N.D. Cal. October 4, 2004) (State-law-based claims brought by plan participants against a third party administrator for the plan dismissed as preempted by ERISA.)
