I built this firm on a premise that sounds simple but turns out to be rare: when you hire me, you get me. Not a associate, not a paralegal with a form letter. Me. The same person who took your first call drafts the pleadings, argues the motions, and stands up at trial if it comes to that.

I went to Ave Maria School of Law here in Naples. I competed in moot court and tax court oral advocacy, learned to argue both sides of a case until I couldn't tell which side I actually believed, and came away convinced that the best lawyers are the ones who can see the weaknesses in their own argument before opposing counsel does. That habit has served me well.

Before law school I spent two years as a missionary in New Mexico. It was not a legal education, but it taught me something that law school couldn't: how to sit across from someone in genuine difficulty and actually listen. I try to bring that into every client meeting. The law is technical. The problems behind it are human.

My practice covers civil litigation, family law, business disputes, eviction, foreclosure, personal injury, and bankruptcy. The common thread is the courtroom. Every matter I take gets prepared as if it will be tried, because the cases that are ready for trial are the ones the other side wants to settle.

I'll tell you what I think your case is worth, what it will realistically cost to pursue it, and where your vulnerabilities are. I won't oversell you on the front end and manage expectations on the back. You'll get a straight assessment from the first conversation, and we'll build the strategy from there.

I practice primarily in the 20th Judicial Circuit covering Collier, Lee, and Charlotte counties, with regular appearances in federal court in the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida. The 20th Circuit is home. I know the docket, I know the judges, and I know that preparation is the only currency that counts in that room.

Outside the office I'm a father of seven, from toddlers to young adults. My children have voted me Father of the Year every year since 2004, which I consider my most significant undefeated record. When a client tells me their family is everything, I know exactly what they mean. That perspective matters in how I handle family law matters. I'm protective of what's important and realistic about what litigation costs a family, financially and otherwise.

If you need someone who takes the work seriously without taking himself too seriously, I'm here.

A touch of ego without the maniac.
