We specialize in conflict resolution. We not only can have your back when it counts; we also can lead the charge to make things right when you have been wronged by others. It’s that simple: we excel at problem solving, with efficiency. Our areas of special litigation expertise include Business, Environmental, and Securities disputes, Products Liability (Aviation, Automotive, ATV and other), Personal Injury and Wrongful Death cases, and Criminal Business Investigations and Trials.

We do not handle family law , patent or medical negligence litigation. We will provide referrals to qualified attorneys in those areas of expertise upon request.

We have deep experience in Environmental Law. We excel at and enjoy helping clients understand and manage what are often confusing regulatory requirements for storage, handling, and disposal of waste, stormwater discharges, and air emissions. We are experts at handling Model Toxics Control Act problems, including the prosecution and defense of private cleanup cost recovery litigation, from leaking storage tanks, dry cleaners, and industrial waste to air quality remediation.
