About

I'm a litigator in Holland & Knight's Tysons office. Leveraging my deep first-chair trial experience, demonstrated ability to manage teams successfully through high-stakes litigation, and reputation as a strategic problem solver, I represent clients in complex commercial disputes pending in federal and state courts. As a former federal prosecutor and leader in the crucible that is the Eastern District of Virginia's "Rocket Docket," I'm practiced at delivering excellence under pressure and at warp speed.
