Representing you, your

We are Florida trial and appellate lawyers who handle complex business, contract, construction, defamation, injury, malpractice, medical, probate, and other disputes.
I pair 29 years of courtroom experience with deep fluency in modern technology to deliver clear, persuasive advocacy. My approach is practical and business-minded. I narrow issues early, control risk, and position cases for efficient resolution or, when necessary, decisive jury trials.
We also provide focused appellate advocacy. From the trial court forward, we preserve appealable issues, build a disciplined record, and present compelling legal arguments designed to win on appeal.
It is critical that your litigation lawyers have actually tried jury cases. May have not. We have.
Our team of appellate lawyers have handled appeals in all six Florida Districts, Florida Supreme Court, 11th Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
As a civil circuit mediator and arbitrator, I have the inside knowledge to propel your case to success.
We use technology to economically and efficiently manage your cases.
