Events
As a formerly practicing Certified Appellate Specialist, I have been asked to lend my insights and experience to numerous legal forums and webinars. If you are interested in having me speak about appellate law, family law appeals, or about preparing an appeal at the trial court level, you are welcome to contact me.
As of late 2022, I will be posting speaking engagements and other events on my personal site.
