__Throughout my career as an attorney, approximately half or more of my time has been spent handling litigation, usually as the lead attorney for my client and often as common counsel for groups of parties numbering from a dozen to over 100.  My case load has included both state and federal court cases in numerous jurisdictions. (The other half of my work has involved negotiations with state and federal agencies and among private parties. See Regulatory fields.)

I have been admitted to the bars of three states (Michigan, New York, New Jersey) and the District of Columbia.  I am admitted to numerous federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and District Courts in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Texas.  I have also been admitted pro hac vice in litigation I have handled in numerous jurisdictions.

Within Michigan, I have handled litigation in both (eastern and western) federal court districts and in numerous of our counties’ circuit courts across the state.  (I am also on the list of approved mediators for civil cases in many of these same circuit courts.  See Dispute Resolution information.)
