As a litigator, I thrive on the more complex and difficult cases. When it’s going to be a difficult set of facts, when the judge is known to be tough, when the issues are not favorable to my client’s position and there are clear obstacles from the outset, that’s when I flourish. I do my best to identify, and deliver, the best possible outcome for my clients at any stage of the litigation
