I began practicing law in 1981, concentrating on personal injury, medical negligence, and products liability litigation. I became a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer in 1991. A substantial portion of my products liability practice has included automotive and products liability defense. A substantial portion of my medical negligence practice has included defense of medical residents and faculty members. In the last five years, I have focused my practice primarily on commercial litigation cases typically involving breach of contract, misrepresentation, and/or fraud.
From 2007 through 2012, I served as the Executive Director of the Tampa Bay Inn of Court, a voluntary organization of local judges and lawyers committed to promoting professionalism and excellence in the practice of law in the Tampa Bay area.
I have been elected to Best Lawyers in America, Legal Elite, and Super Lawyers every year since 2007. I am a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates whose mission is to preserve the right to jury trial. I am a mentor for the Hillsborough Education Foundation's "Take Stock in Children" program, which offers college scholarships to at-risk students, and a Director for The Florida Orchestra.
Best Lawyers in America selected me as Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Defense in Tampa for 2015.
I have lectured on Florida tort reform, medical negligence reform, and evidence, and I have written concerning Florida products liability law. I have appeared on ESPN's nationally-televised "Outside the Lines" program as counsel for the NFL to discuss the constitutionality of the League's pat-down search policy at NFL stadiums.
