  • Served as a retained expert witness on Michigan corporate law for a client in a real estate dispute litigated in Montreal, Canada.
  • Took depositions and wrote a motion and brief that secured a judgment before trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of a national insurance company in a collection suit by its former IP law firm.
  • Developed and implemented litigation strategy in a business tort case that resulted in a novel issue being heard by special conflict panel of Michigan Court of Appeals.
  • Served as principal author of lawsuit papers that secured a restraining order in the Wayne County Circuit Court against unfair business competition against the client.
