      • Jul 2022 - Present

      I joined Osborn Maledon after resigning from my position as a judge on the Arizona Superior Court. I presided over hundreds of jury trials, bench trials, evidentiary hearings, and oral arguments. Before my seven years as a judge, I was in private practice for 19 years in Phoenix and handled matters in courts and arbitration forums across the country, focusing on class action defense and commercial litigation. I'm on the AAA neutrals roster for arbitrations. I joined Osborn Maledon after resigning from my position as a judge on the Arizona Superior Court.
