Practices Tailored to Our Region
My practice has been built to serve the needs of people who live and work around the water.
Most of my work is focused on the court room, but as I have helped clients solve courtroom problems, I also have developed collaborative practices advising them how to avoid lawsuits in the future.
Principal areas of my focus are summarrized below. Please call me today to see if I can help you.
Litigation
Trial work is at the the heart of what I do. With an emphasis on shoreline and property issues, and fiduciary litigation, I am active throughout the region.

Waterfront Businesses
Boatyards, marinas and marine related businesses have a unique set of needs, yet few law firms specialize in these representations. I do.
Years of litigating waterfront issues have helped me understand where the traps are and how to avoid them. Let's discuss how I can help your waterfront business.
Shoreline & Riparian Rights
Virginia has complicated laws concerning how you can use waterfront property and how the state regulates environmental issues critical to the Chesapeake. I have extensive experience with riparian issues and development under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. I can litigate those issues for you but I prefer to help before problems happen.
HOA Law
Common interest properties are the fastest growing form of home ownership in Virginia and our region has dozens of homeowners associations and condominia. Volunteer boards responsible for managing these groups need an attorney experienced with the complex set of laws that apply to them.
