Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, United States
I have practiced law for almost 30 years. My core practice areas have been business disputes, contract disputes, real estate disputes, and personal injury matters. I am a seasoned first-chair trial lawyer, having tried scores of jury and bench trials. In addition to directly handing litigation, I have also managed litigation throughout the United States, overseeing other lawyers handling claims against my clients. I also have experience as in-house counsel, having served as Director of Legal Affairs for a start-up pharmaceutical company. I offer the judgment and maturity that comes along with 30 years of practicing law. I am experienced in providing practical business advice to business owners and executives. I am proficient in the areas of litigation, contracts (negotiation and drafting), company policies and procedures, and risk management.
