I have successfully litigated cases against some of the largest and most powerful corporations, including, but not limited to, Anheuser-Bush, Inc., Yum Brands, Inc., Home Depot, Inc., and The Hartford Insurance Company that resulted in significant recoveries for clients. I have taken numerous cases to trial throughout the State of Florida, including in federal court, state court and the American Arbitration Association. I have also represented some of the largest companies engaged in business in the State of Florida, including Burger King Corporation, Flagler Development Company, and Washington Mutual Bank. Reported cases include: Upland Development of Central Florida, Inc. v. Bridge, 910 So.2d 942 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005); Williams v. Bear Sterns & Co., 725 So.2d 397 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998); Maris Distributing Company v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 710 So.2d 1022 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998); Wells v.

Trials, Cases, or Transactions

I have tried numerous cases to conclusion in several counties in Florida, including Orange County, Osceola County, Seminole County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Palm Beach County and Dade County. The trials were located in Florida State Courts, Federal Court, and with the American Arbitration Association. I have represented clients in high dollar, contractual disputes, as well as those who have been the victims of wrongful conduct by large corporations, insurance companies, and negligent tortfeasors.
