Experience
I litigate claims on behalf of owners, general contractors and subcontractors in federal and state courts and before arbitral tribunals. I also draft and negotiate construction and architect contracts for developers and construction contracts for contractors. Notwithstanding that my training and experience is as a litigator, my principal goal is to assist clients in finding a path to resolve issues, eliminate disputes and to find sensible solutions to complicated legal issues. I also am trained as a mediator and arbitrator, I am on the current AAA panel, and I perform those services when requested either through the AAA or ad hoc. I am admitted to practice in Virginia and the District of Columbia.
