Prior to joining Procopio in 2006, I practiced general litigation for five years at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, where I handled product liability, construction, personal injury, transportation and professional liability matters. My current construction practice includes the representation of public and private owners, general contractors, subcontractors and sureties in a wide variety of matters involving breach of contract, delay, collection, mechanic's lien foreclosures and extra work claims. I have experience representing clients at jury and bench trials, binding arbitrations and mediations.
