My Approach

Creativity is the hallmark of my practice. I’ve built my career on finding unconventional paths to resolutions—especially where insurance coverage is pivotal. Clients don’t want more lawsuits; they want answers and efficient solutions. My value lies in crafting strategies others wouldn’t consider, often resolving disputes without costly litigation.

For condominium associations and businesses, I combine deep insurance knowledge with adaptive problem-solving. Understanding how insurers think—and what motivates them—lets me secure recoveries faster and with less friction.

My Experience

  • Insurance-Driven Results: Maximizing recoveries for construction defects, property damage, and contract disputes by unlocking coverage others overlook

  • Condominium Expertise: Resolving complex defect claims where insurance funding is critical—often avoiding protracted lawsuits

  • Dynamic Advocacy: Pairing litigation skills with creative leverage points to deliver rare advantages

My strategies prove that insurance know-how, matched with solid litigation skills, is a vital—and often underutilized—resource.
