As lead counsel, I have tried and won jury trials in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, St. Croix, and Wisconsin. Specialties: For over two and a half decades, I have defended product liability claims and managed national litigation for manufacturers; successfully defended class actions alleging product liability, fraud, and conspiracy claims against pharmaceutical, tobacco, and asbestos companies; handled a wide range of commercial and environmental cases; and managed all legal affairs for local clients in energy, manufacturing, property management, transportation, and temporary services.
