As a dedicated and persuasive litigator, I have a demonstrated record of successfully delivering favorable resolutions to complex legal matters. My many years of diverse work history in mining, manufacturing & construction combined with leadership in high-pressure situations as a decorated Marine Corp combat veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm and an as Illinois National Guard combat veteran who served in Operation Enduring Freedom, allows me to bring a unique perspective to the practice of law.

My diligence in representing client interests has resulted in many dismissals, favorable judgments, and advantageous settlements & verdicts. Recognized by constituents and outside legal firms for exuding clarity in ambiguous situations, I interact & build trusting relationships with individuals from diverse backgrounds (blue & white collar), co-counsel, key stakeholders, and decision-makers.

Currently serving on Southern Illinois University’s Economics External Advisory Board and as counsel for a nationally recognized charity & an internationally recognized charitable organization.
