There isn’t much I haven’t seen. With over 30 years of experience as an attorney in Southern Nevada, I’m well versed in just about anything you can throw at me.
Let's talk experience.
About Me
My career has been diverse, with many years representing both plaintiffs and defendants. Most recently, my practice focused on general liability defense for Zurich North America Insurance Company. Previous to my role with Zurich, I represented clients in cases involving claims of personal injury, employment discrimination, medical malpractice, construction defect, and criminal defense.
Outside of my career, I enjoy participating in volunteer capacities locally and abroad. I also enjoy exercising, boating, riding motorcycles with my grandkids, biking, skiing, meditation and reading.
