I am a licensed attorney with a degree from Tulane Law School earned
in 1981. I specialize in the area of construction dispute
resolution. As a member of the American Arbitration Association I
have arbitrated and mediated hundreds of disputes, resolving hundreds of
millions of dollars in claims. I have chaired a Disputes Review
Board panel. I have chaired and served on dozens of moderated
settlement conferences. I have been an Expert Witness in over one
hundred construction litigation cases. I have testified on behalf
of both plaintiffs and defendants. My clients have included both
Public and Private Owners, Sureties, Designers, Management Firms, General
Contractors, Subcontractors, Fabricators and Suppliers. The
disputes have ranged in value from several hundred thousand to billions
of dollars.
I am a certified mediator, arbitrator, project neutral, third party
facilitator and sometimes serve as an advisor to parties who are involved
in the resolution of construction disputes through negotiation, but whose
process has become stagnant due to the unrealistic expectations of one or
more of the parties. In such cases, I can bring a fresh and
unbiased approach to the situation resulting in a more productive and
realistic continuation of the resolution process. This kind of
intervention has broken stalemates in the past which have resulted in
acceptable settlements.
I am a specialist in resolving construction claims and disputes.
