History
While I opened my own law office in 2018 in Valparaiso, Indiana, I have been a practicing attorney for over 30 years. I am a civil litigation trial attorney licensed to practice law in Illinois and Indiana. I am also a Registered Civil Mediator in Indiana and have served as a sole and panel member Arbitrator in both states. Having served as in-house counsel and/or Managing Attorney for three Fortune 100 Insurance Companies, my cases ranged from personal injury and premises liability to motor vehicle accidents and foodborne illness matters. Handling such a variety of cases has created a reputation where I am known for ethically and aggressively representing clients as an excellent communicator, highly skilled in negotiating, conflict resolution, and courtroom litigation.
Specialties
During my legal career I have handled high exposure cases from inception to verdict. This has resulted in numerous first chair jury trials, bench trials, Arbitrations and Meditations. It is this same experience and acumen that has enabled me to be an effective Mediator and assist parties in reaching a resolution. From my Valparaiso location, I continue to offer litigation, Mediation & Arbitration services, as well as general legal counsel for a variety of legal areas, such as Corporation and LLC formation, Estate Planning & Probate, Real Estate, and Personal Injury.
