After attending Ivy League college at Cornell University, I worked for two years before attending law school. I graduated from the State University of New York (SUNY) Law School in 1993 and have practiced law solely in Hawaii. Since 1997, I have operated my own Law Firm.\n<\/div><\/div>\n

I began my career as an insurance defense attorney for one of Honolulu’s big insurance defense firms. In 1995, I came to Maui to work for the government, but soon went to work for myself. In my developing practice I saw a real need for victims of personal injury to have compassionate and effective legal representation, understanding the interplay of insurance and claims handling process of defendants. Since opening my firm, I have helped individuals, visitors and families from across Hawaii and the mainland seek fair compensation for their injuries; recover in the process; and address the multitude of insurance, compensation, and medical and job related issues.\n

I served three terms as a Maui County Grand Jury Counsel. I was a board member and Secretary of the Maui County Bar Association. I have received a pro bono service award from the Volunteer Lawyers of Hawaii, and was recognized by the Hawaii State Legislature for representing individuals with limited incomes. I have previously served as one of the two Hawaii delegates to the American Association of Justice and am a ‘past’ board member of the Hawaii Association of Justice, formerly known as the Consumer Lawyers of Hawaii.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My law practice also involves appeals and I am admitted to practice before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as all Federal and State courts in Hawaii. I have handled some sixty plus appeals and have a number of published decisions. I have argued in front of the Hawaii Supreme Court prevailing in 3 cases and waiting on a decision in a forth case. Outside my law practice, I am a part-time musician and surfer, and spent several seasons as an American Youth Soccer Organization coach.<\/p>\n
