Summary of experience &/or areas of specialization:
For the duration of my 20+ year legal career I have been handling civil cases in courts throughout the greater St. Louis area, including cases in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, Madison County, and St. Clair County. I have handled a variety of cases throughout my career, representing parties in commercial litigation, premises liability cases, trucking and transportation cases, employment discrimination claims, and maritime lawsuits.
Summary of legal or other professional experience (including teaching):
After graduating law school in 2000, I worked in the legal department at The May Department Stores Company (now Macy’s) where I represented the company in class actions, employment discrimination lawsuits, and a variety of commercial cases. I left May Company in 2003 to join a small law firm in downtown St. Louis where I handled maritime, premises liability, trucking, and environmental cases. I now run the St. Louis office of a national Am Law 200 law firm, and my practice is primarily devoted to trucking and transportation cases, premises liability cases, employment discrimination claims, and commercial litigation.
