He is “Av” Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, Inc., which is a significant rating accomplishment. It is a testament to the fact that a lawyer’s peers rank him at the highest level of professional excellence.
He is a no nonsense, nuts and bolts practitioner, who loves to resolve issues both as an attorney and as a mediator. He is a people person who enjoys those who respect the legal system. He is a careful listener who understands that each side has needs that have to be met to some degree. Due to time constraints and financial expense, the judicial forum is not always best for all parties, nor is it therapeutic in any sense. Nonetheless, he is a formidable and prepared opponent should the matter require litigation to a verdict or judgment.
