MY BLOG: I author the appellate law weblog, The California Blog of Appeal.
MY PRACTICE: My practice focuses on civil and criminal appeals, writs and post trial motions in state and federal courts in California. I also take on interesting civil cases I opened my practice in 2005 with more than a decade of experience litigating high-stakes business cases involving matters such as fraud, unfair competition, trade secrets, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, and other business torts. Instead of limiting my appellate and post-trial practice to a particular legal field, I consider appellate and post-trial practice itself as a legal niche. Thus, my practice trades in the skills required to sway judges – incisive analysis, persuasive legal writing and articulate oral advocacy, all backed up by meticulous research – and I apply these skills to the substantive area of law presented in each case, be it family law, employment, tort, or business litigation.
WHY I AM AN APPELLATE LAWYER: In law school, I imagined myself as a courtroom wizard. but came to love the library "stacks" early in my career. No matter how much experience I gained at depositions, court appearances, fighting with opposing counsel outside of court, witness preparation, and all the rest that goes with litigation, my principal joy has been research and writing. I enjoy my work, I'm proud of it, and I get to defend it at every oral argument.
