Professional Background
During the last 35 years, I have had the privilege to represent defendants in a variety of matters including the defense of business, commercial and title insurance cases. The majority of the cases have involved the defense of title insurance companies and their insureds. I also had the privilege to teach a trial practice class at the University of San Diego School of Law from 1985 to 2000.
