Unresolved disputes can become emotionally and financially exhausting, as well as a significant drain on your time. As an experienced trial attorney, my best advice is to avoid courtroom litigation of these matters whenever possible. It is a costly, risky, and lengthy process – and your interests can often be protected effectively through smart planning and skillful negotiation to prevent disputes before they occur or to resolve them quickly when they arise.
If you want to avoid legal disputes down the road, the most important thing you can do for yourself is to have an attorney who is a skilled negotiator by your side today. Unlike many lawyers, I bring both trial and business experience to my practice. With an M.B.A. from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, I am experienced in thinking and negotiating in commercial terms. I can guide you through negotiations for many instruments or agreements that you or your organization needs. And I can backup those negotiations with hard-won trial expertise. This unique combination of courtroom and commercial insight gives me the edge you deserve at the bargaining table.

Negotiations & Alternative Dispute Resolution Services
Whether you are negotiating a contract, trying to resolve an ongoing dispute, or need to win at mediation or arbitration, I am ready to help you achieve your goals. My skills as a trial attorney give me an edge that most attorneys do not have – unlike litigators who regularly settle out of court, I bring unique trial and litigation tactics from my courtroom experience to private forums like ADR. When you want a contract, dispute, or claim resolved without the expense and frustration of litigation, you need someone sharp, aggressive, and confident in and out of the courtroom to force that outcome early. There is no beating the leverage that comes from live trial experience when your rights and interests are on the line at the bargaining table.
