Subject Matter:

Plaintiff Representation: 100% Defendant Representation:

Arbitration
Experience:

Have acted as judicially ordered non-binding arbitrator on dozens of cases in the past 5 years


Education & Background:	B.A. - U.C. Berkeley - 1972 J.D. - U.O.P. - McGeorge School of Law - 1975
Arbitration Approach:	Informal. I attempt to get as much information by stipulation or offer of proof as possible and try to make the process as comfortable for the participants as possible. I require sworn testimony only for material disputed or contested facts
Brief Thumbnail:	I have been in practice for more than 30 years. Since 1990, I have concentrated almost exclusively on matters involving litigation, primarily consisting of personal injury and wrongful death claims. I have consulted with many physicians, accident reconstruction experts, biomechanical experts, vocational rehabilitation specialists, accountants and economists, and other appropriate experts to develop a good working understanding of the various aspects typically involved in personal injury claims, including causation of accidents; causation of injuries; the typical medical opinions regarding diagnosis, severity, and prognosis in matters involving personal injury; and the various aspects of assessing economic damages. Although I practice exclusively on behalf of Plaintiffs, I have developed many close relationships and am well-respected professionally by the defense bar as well.
