About
I am a Kansas, Missouri, and Texas-licensed lawyer with 17 years of experience as a commercial litigator in medium-to-large law firms, litigating cases on behalf of clients in state and federal courts all over the country and in a vast array of subject areas, including financial services litigation, insurance coverage, construction law, FDCPA litigation, False Claims Act, finance, class actions, appellate practice, transportation law, employment, consumer protection, and general contract disputes.
When I chose to start my own practice, I took not only the experience I gained but the values instilled by great lawyers and trusted colleagues -- a commitment to excellence, superior client representation, collegiality, ethical practice, and long-term decision-making. I apply all of these to every project and matter I work on, whether on behalf of another lawyer or firm, or direct client representation.
