As the founding member of a litigation firm, I maintain a diverse litigation practice representing clients in general civil litigation with a focus on probate and fiduciary litigation, first party insurance, personal injury and contract litigation.

In the area of probate and fiduciary litigation, I represent trustees, executors, beneficiaries, and individuals in all types of complex litigation matters including will contests, trust disputes, beneficiary claims, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty claims. I combine my litigation experience with my background in computer science and accounting to bring adaptability and creativity to hotly contested disputes where there is often more at stake than money.
