practice areas
I represent artists, designers, and small businesses when they find their works have been knocked off or stolen. I strive to ensure that each client knows what I am doing, and why I am doing it, whether that entails explaining aspects of the law or creating proactive strategies for intellectual property protection and infringement deterrence. I am dedicated to understanding each client, their passion, and their industry, and I work hard to provide quality solutions, backed by decades of legal experience.
