Professional Background

Best Lawyer in America

Esquire

I am a nationally recognized trial lawyer focussing on complex litigation trials through-out the country. I appeared as counsel of record before the United States Supreme Court in a landmark price-fixing case. Afterward, I was privately praised by the United States Supreme Court Justice, Stephen Breyer, for my excellent work.

I have successfully tried cases from the west coast (San Jose, California) to the east coast (Midtown, Manhattan). My trial victories include cases as far north as Minnesota (Minneapolis) and as far south as Marshall, Texas.
