I have enjoyed varied legal experience since beginning my career as an attorney in 1988. My experience in the area of personal injury law having represented both plaintiffs and defendants in settlement negotiations, contested arbitration hearings and trials. I have tried more than thirty cases to verdict in front of both jury and bench trials.

Not only have I successfully represented personal injury claimants and medical malpractice victims, I have also handled numerous victims of motor vehicle accidents, victims of crime and people who have suffered violations of their civil rights.

As well, I have extensive experience in criminal defense law, taking criminal matters to verdict before a jury, post-conviction habeas corpus cases in both state and federal court, and have presented appeals to the Nevada Supreme Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and United States Supreme Court. I have represented more than seventy-five criminal post-trial petitioners, ranging from state post-conviction to federal habeas corpus practice. My trial and hearing experience consists of simple misdemeanor and juvenile actions to first degree murder trials and death row practice. I have been selected by both federal and state judges for appointment to represent indigent criminal defendants, including many high profile and complex matters.
