How Can I Help You Move Forward?

My practice is dedicated to solving the complex and ever-changing issues faced by the maritime and oilfield industries in the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. I believe the best legal representation results from candid discussion of the facts, thoughtful analysis, a full understanding each client’s unique goals, and finding the creative solutions that will lead to successful outcomes. A zealous advocate for my clients, I am committed to keeping the business of the Gulf moving.
