   I am Senior Counsel in Sklar Kirsh\'s Litigation Practice Group. I practice in the areas of business litigation, real property, food and supplement labeling, regulation, and safety, and products liability, primarily pharmaceutical products and medical devices. I represent my clients not only as a litigator, but as a counselor in risk avoidance and mitigation. I represent clients in federal and state courts, arbitrations, and mediations. I have tried, arbitrated, and mediated commercial lease disputes, environmental contamination and CERCLA matters, disputes over state and municipal regulatory overreach, business disputes, product liability and personal injury defense, civil fraud, and insurance coverage disputes. I have also served as a volunteer city attorney and county deputy district attorney, serving as lead prosecutor in a number of misdemeanor criminal jury and bench trials as well as evidentiary hearings.
