I understand the steps necessary to protect the interests of construction clients both before and after their work on construction projects begins. Proactively ensuring that construction clients’ full arsenal of legal rights are created, preserved, and protected often is the difference between recovering the full amount of the debt and writing it off to bad debt. My practice is focused on helping construction clients obtain payment without the need for costly litigation whenever possible, including by asserting statutory mechanic’s lien and bond claims, and protecting their interests through zealous representation where litigation becomes unavoidable.

I also represent creditors in a broad range of other commercial litigation matters from contract disputes, to collection and replevin actions, to mortgage foreclosures. My experience in handling commercial disputes allows me to provide pragmatic advice based on the goals of the client, the economic realities of the case, and an accurate assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the client’s position based on the facts presented and applicable law. I pride myself on being effective and efficient and finding the points of leverage needed to put my client in the driver’s seat in negotiations and litigation.
