I am engaged primarily by other lawyers who have clients requiring trial and/or appellate expertise. I provide both. I do not litigate civil cases so as to then attempt to settle. I do not take on the criminal defense of a matter with the view that there must be a plea bargain.
And, if appellate review is required, I have the oral and written skills, along with the experience (see reported cases below), to prosecute or defend such proceedings.
