- Expert Witness Coordination: Identify, retain, and collaborate with technical experts (such as surveyors, structural engineers, and construction consultants) to build robust trial theories.
- Courtroom Advocacy: Actively represent clients in oral arguments, evidentiary hearings, settlement conferences, and trials before Pennsylvania state and federal courts, as well as municipal and administrative boards.
