After almost 13 years practicing in the trial department of a large international law firm, I have recently started a new practice in my hometown of Sharon, MA. Over the years, I have defended clients in major product liability and mass tort lawsuits, including the fen-phen litigation and widespread claims relating to genetically modified crops, represented numerous clients in the health care industry in business disputes, and handled litigation relating to trade secrets, employee non competition agreements, contract disputes and disputes arising out of major corporate transactions. I have been in state and federal courts in ten different jurisdictions, and gained expertise in all stages of litigation, from discovery to trial and appeal.

My current practice is based on the belief I can bring that rich experience to serve the litigation and counseling needs of small businesses and individuals in a flexible, economical manner.
