Biographical
During my tenure as a United States Magistrate Judge. I was humbled and honored that parties frequently sought me out as their settlement judge. Over 17 years, I conducted nearly 1000 settlement conferences and settled the vast majority of them. And during my years as a federal judge, I presided by the parties’ consent in hundreds of civil cases. With the litigation judgment that comes from this experience and through persistence and creative solutions, I can help litigants reach a satisfying resolution of their cases, a resolution that helps them move forward in their business and personal lives. If I can help you, give me a call and we will get it done.
