Industry focus
Excellent client advocacy begins and ends with my tireless dedication, unwavering discipline, and steadfast direction.
How I represent clients at Schwabe
As a skilled civil litigator, I handle complex multi-party disputes involving breach of contract, negligence, product liability, toxic torts, business torts, and natural resource matters. I work closely with my clients to provide tailored solutions to meet their goals.
Equipped with a background in economics, I bring a sense of objective practicality to optimize my clients’ potential for success in each matter. I look to their specific goals and work toward each stage of a case—including, if necessary, trial and appeal. I also bring unique Pacific Northwest value to cases; I have experience before many judges in both state and federal courts, as well as several arbitrators and mediators in Oregon and Washington.
