I began my career as an attorney in 1989. After having litigated thousands of cases, and trying matters before judges and juries in more than two dozen jurisdictions in state and federal courts in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I have transitioned to primarily serving as a full time ADR professional.
My experience with ADR is as a litigator as well as a Mediator and Arbitrator. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of being appointed in private matters as well as working with the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, where I have conducted settlement conferences as a Judge Pro Tem for more than 25 years.
