I get tremendous professional satisfaction from helping good people fight—and win—against bad actors, large institutions, and insurance companies that refuse to do the right thing. After a decade of litigating high-profile corporate cases in Washington, DC at one of the top law firms in the country, I moved to South Carolina to leverage my complex litigation experience on behalf of people who need it the most. I get tremendous professional satisfaction from helping good people fight—and win—against bad actors, large institutions, and insurance companies that refuse to do the right thing. Since moving to Mount Pleasant in 2018, I have handled some of the most challenging and complex injury, wrongful death, and civil rights cases in South Carolina, recovering millions of dollars for my clients that would have otherwise gone unpaid. I’m a trial-tested litigator representing individuals and families in a wide range of personal injury, negligence, civil rights, and fraud cases. I’ve successfully represented clients in complex cases and I have litigated legal issues in the federal courts of appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court.  Because my practice often involves tackling difficult legal problems that others might avoid, I bring a high level of determination and creativity to each case to help seek out a just result for my clients. Before starting my own Personal Injury Attorney firm in the Charleston area, I spent nearly a decade handling complex civil and white collar criminal matters at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in Washington, D.C. While there, I litigated dozens of high-profile cases for individuals and multinational corporations, including numerous fraud cases brought under the False Claims Act and other federal statutes. My family and I eventually relocated to Mount Pleasant, where I began representing plaintiffs in complex civil cases at a respected trial firm. I also served in the U.S. Navy as an Intelligence Specialist (E-5), where I provided terrorism and threat assessments for naval forces transiting hostile regions.  Before beginning my legal career, I worked as a floor trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where I traded financial derivative instruments in the trading pits and on exchanges worldwide.
