ABOUT US

I have spent my career defending small business owners against lawsuits filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act. And yet — I am one of the ADA's most ardent supporters.  I know what this law means, because it changed my life.

At a young age, I contracted polio and have used a wheelchair ever since. The ADA is the reason I have been able to visit courthouses, conduct trials, and travel freely across the United States. I have lived the very access this law was designed to protect.

That's precisely why I take seriously the damage done when the ADA is weaponized. Serial filers exploit a law meant to protect people like me — filing dozens, sometimes hundreds, of lawsuits against small businesses for technical violations, often with no real intent to access those businesses at all. It's litigation as a business model, and small business owners pay the price.

My approach is straightforward: if a case has merit, we resolve it. If it doesn't, we fight. I have strong-armed serial filers into dismissals time and again. I do not advise meritless settlements. My job is to protect businesses from predatory lawsuits — and I take that seriously.

My clients value not just my courtroom tenacity, but my broad background in business litigation and the analytical edge that comes from my engineering training. Early in my career, I worked as a project engineer for Fortune 500 companies — that problem-solving mindset never left. I bring it to every case.

I have also represented deserving clients on a pro bono basis. Small businesses facing meritless suits often can't afford prolonged litigation. Where I can help, I do.
