I am certified as a specialist in civil litigation by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and have been listed by Best Lawyers in America for over 10 years.  I have handled hundreds of cases and regularly try cases to juries and to judges throughout Wisconsin and in the federal courts.  These have included personal injury claims, product liability claims, insurance coverage disputes, intellectual property disputes, business dissolutions and contract disputes. 

The Chief Judge of the Federal District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin appointed me to serve on committees reviewing the practice of law in the district. I have also lectured for the Wisconsin Bar Association Continuing Legal Education Committee.  For nearly 20 years I was a member of the Board of Directors of the L.E. Phillips Career Development Center including service as President of the Board of Directors. I am also an avid cyclist and am the perennial winner of the firm's NCAA basketball pool.
