Experienced Courtroom Litigator & Negotiator
-
Successful trial lawyer (tried over 25 jury trials)
-
Because the vast majority of civil cases settle out of court, most consumer lawyers and civil litigators in general lack the extensive jury trial experience needed to most effectively negotiate with corporate defense attorneys; my criminal law background means that I have been a courtroom litigator for years and feel comfortable in front of judges and juries
