BIOGRAPHY
Currently, I am working as an associate with the Center City Law Firm, Rawle & Henderson, L.L.P. I came to the firm after working as an associate with Mylotte, David and Fitzpatrick. I focus my practice on insurance defense litigation, including products liability, aviation, transportation and general liability cases. I started my legal career as a judicial clerk in the Office of Chief Counsel for the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. I am an active member of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and American Bar Associations.
I relocated to the Delaware Valley from Miami, Florida, where I grew up. I attended Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia for my undergraduate education, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in May of 1993, with a major in history and a minor in political science. While at Emory, I was an editorialist for the campus political affairs newspaper, The Voice, and was a brother in the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity.
I then attended the University of Florida College of Law in Gainesville, Florida, focusing my law school curriculum on litigation skills and theory. In order to supplement my basic law school requirements I took classes in advanced trial skills, advanced trial and evidence topics, and mediation and alternative dispute resolution. My legal research and writing ability became so finely skilled that I was awarded a teaching fellowship. I graduated from law school with honors in 1996.
I enjoy representing a wide range of clients including manufacturers, trucking companies, airlines, and insurance companies.
