As a litigator with the firm of Folger Levin & Kahn I represented clients in consumer class actions, cases alleging securities fraud, and complex commercial disputes. Clients came from high technology, alternative energy, banking, and consumer services industries. When you retain me to mediate your complex matters, you are hiring a professional who is familiar with the unique challenges posed by these suits that consume significant monetary and management resources.

Developed evidence through discovery utilized to defeat the plaintiffs' allegations that management made false predictive statements concerning the company's flagship product. Summary judgment ruling was affirmed on appeal.

  • Represented international brokerage firm in investor class action alleging irregularities in sale of the stock of a major foreign company to U.S. investors. Case settled favorably when court approved a settlement that just covered plaintiffs' attorneys' fees.

  • Represented one of the country’s largest DSL providers in connection with a failed merger after the acquiring company invoked the merger agreement’s material adverse change clause to justify canceling the transaction.
