    Experience: Representative Matters: Lead appellate counsel for Fortune 50 company in a defamation case, which concerned immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. 230. After an interactive oral argument, the Florida First District Court of Appeal issued a thorough opinion adopting our arguments
    affirming the judgment. Successfully defended grant of summary judgment on appeal.
    As lead appellate brief-writer, defended consumer products company on appeal from a three-week jury trial, in which a former executive alleged discrimination after she had been fired for improper conduct
    violation of company policy. On appeal, the former executive raised numerous purported errors
    legal issues, all of which were rejected by the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal in a detailed opinion that accepted the arguments set forth in our client's brief. Obtained full affirmance of defense verdict.
    Member of appellate team that represented a United States territorial government,
    obtained precedent-setting 118-page opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which vacated key portions of the district court's decision. This high-stakes appeal concerned complex legal issues relating to the government's retirement system, in which the government had a judgment against it in the amount of $63 million
    future potential liability of up to $1.6 billion. This was an enormous win for our client,
    helped it to avoid near-certain financial ruin.
