My background is in representing leading manufacturers in complex product liability cases and related commercial litigation matters and in providing my clients with a defense in premises liability, construction accident, employment discrimination, nursing home, and medical malpractice litigation. I have achieved great successes for my insured and self-insured clients in state and federal courts throughout the United States.
In all of my varied experience, my clients have grown to count on me to provide thoughtful and sophisticated risk management strategies that yield cost-effective results. I have a proven track record of success in achieving favorable, prompt, and final results inside and outside of the courtroom.
Outside of the office, you will find me in all four seasons actively enjoying the natural wonders of Western New York. My favorite activities involve downhill skiing and competitive sailing.
