I began my legal career at a national defense firm, where I handled complex litigation on behalf of some of the country’s largest developers, engineering and architectural firms, and several gig-economy companies. In that role, I defended high-stakes matters across a range of industries and served as defense counsel for one of the primary defendants in the In re: Champlain Towers Collapse Litigation, the class action wrongful death case arising out of the tragic collapse of the Champlain Towers in Surfside, Florida.

Drawing on my experience representing Fortune 500 companies, I now focus my practice exclusively on representing individuals and small businesses in complex class action litigation. My work centers on holding corporations accountable for systemic misconduct and securing meaningful relief for those harmed by unlawful practices. My cases have included claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), constitutional claims, federal and state consumer debt-collection laws, state unfair and deceptive trade practices statutes, housing laws designed to protect tenants, negligence, breach of contract, and other common law claims.

I serve as lead counsel in Nobel, et al. v. South Florida Stadiums, the class action arising from the riot during the 2024 Copa América Final in Miami, Florida. The case was brought on behalf of thousands of ticketholders who were denied entry to the match or prevented from fully accessing the stadium after security failures led to widespread chaos. The parties have reached a proposed $14 million class action settlement, currently pending before the court, which would provide refunds of up to $2,000 per denied-entry class member.

I also served as co-lead counsel in Sanchez, et al. v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, a class action challenging the wrongful suspension of driver’s licenses used as a debt-collection mechanism. The case resulted in a settlement valued at $6 million, benefiting 439 individuals whose licenses had been improperly suspended to collect judgment debts. As part of the litigation, 258 class members had their driving privileges reinstated.

In addition to my consumer practice, I represent active-duty service members and disabled veterans in multiple ongoing class actions challenging unlawful financial harms targeting current and former members of the U.S. military.

While not practicing law, I enjoy traveling, honing my cooking skills, and boating and fishing with my wife and nephews on the beautiful waters of St. Petersburg, Florida.
