ABOUT

Before founding my own firm in 2009,  I worked at a boutique law firm that served only clients in the construction industry. After graduation, I worked as an associate at a large law firm in Chicago in commercial litigation on class actions, deceptive business practice and antitrust litigation. My experience includes the successful resolution of mechanic’s lien claims, breach of contract disputes, and other litigation in Illinois on behalf of individuals, small business owners, lenders, contractors and subcontractors.
