I'm an appellate lawyer. I represent a wide range of clients in civil appeals and in writ proceedings, including business owners, property owners, insurers, employers, public entities, film finance lenders, film producers, bankruptcy creditors, and trademark holders.
I also regularly provide assistance to trial counsel in proposing jury instructions and verdict forms and drafting dispositive motions and oppositions—all with a keen eye toward helping trial counsel to preserve the record for any future appeal.
Before joining GMSR as an appellate lawyer, I worked in the film industry as a creative executive, where I acquired distribution rights for feature films such as the Oscar-nominated City of God.
