As a former law clerk to a federal trial judge and a federal appellate judge at the Tenth Circuit Court of
Appeals, a staff attorney for over six years at the Oklahoma Supreme Court, and former general counsel to
Oklahoma's Consumer Credit Commission, I am adept at representing you in federal and state courts, at any
level—administrative/agency, trial, and appellate. A litigator to my core, if you need someone to help you
solve a dispute, let me know. I am also a trained and certified mediator, and am mindful that many times,the
best solution for my client is a settlement, not a trial.
