Defending the interests of businesses and industries in the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Courts of Appeals

I handle appeals and prepare amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) briefs involving federal constitutional, statutory, and regulatory issues of importance to businesses and industries. I provide these services on a flat-fee basis rather than billing by the hour.
