Of Counsel

2001 - Oct 2010
As "Of Counsel," I owned and operated a firm within a firm. My law practice was virtually the same as it is today, serving my corporate and insurance company clients on matters that included insurance coverage, general insurance defense, and business litigation. I also counseled clients on risk management. Then as now, part of my practice included the unique "niche" area of equine-related law and liability on a national level.
