Florida Civil Trial Lawyer
I represent people and businesses in serious civil disputes.
I started my career as a corporate defense litigator at a major international law firm in Miami, representing exactly the kind of large institutions many of my clients now face. It was rigorous training, and it taught me something that shapes how I practice today: I learned how the other side builds its case, marshals its resources, and wears people down.
After my years in corporate defense, I served as a law clerk to three federal judges in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, an experience that gave me an inside view of how cases are actually decided, not just argued. I went on to become a partner at a boutique litigation firm before founding my own practice in 2019. Over nearly two decades, I’ve litigated and tried cases to verdict in federal court, state court, and arbitration, securing favorable outcomes for my clients.
My client’s case against the Miami-Dade School Board was covered by NBC 6 South Florida, the Miami Herald, and Daily Business Review, and featured in Keep This Between Us, a docuseries that aired on Freeform and Hulu. Read the coverage →
I built this firm around a simple idea: take a small number of cases I believe in, and give each of them everything it needs. I don’t run a volume practice. You won’t find me on a billboard, and you won’t be one file among hundreds. When I take your case, I am the lawyer preparing it, arguing it, and standing next to you.
I was born in Detroit and have lived in New York City, Germany, Italy, and Japan before settling in Miami, which I now call home.
Whether you’ve been wronged or you’re facing a serious dispute, and you’re looking for a lawyer who will take your case personally, I’d like to hear from you.
