Bank of America N.A. v. Hermann Street DE, LLC: I was the point-person in protracted litigation arising from a commercial mortgage loan in the original principal amount of $132,000,000. The loan was secured by 16 apartment buildings.  When the housing bubble burst, the borrowers defaulted, and the loan guarantors failed to honor their contractual guaranties.  We obtained a court-appointed receiver to take possession and control of the apartment buildings, took title to all 16 buildings through non-judicial foreclosure, then pursued the guarantors for the loan deficiency. After a jury trial, a multi-million dollar verdict was entered against the guarantors, which I successfully enforced.

Borel Private Bank & Trust Company v. Hamrol: In a construction loan dispute arising from a failed condominium project, I successfully obtained a Right to Attach Order in the amount of $9,616,204.  This elevated the lender’s claim to a secured position, giving it confidence to invest in the case and leverage to negotiate a favorable settlement.

Metalor Dental AG v. Warkentin: The exclusive U.S. distributor of a Swiss dental supply company failed to remit several hundred thousand dollars. I obtained judgment in the amount of $676,359.

Marin County District Attorney's Office: I was a Deputy District Attorney in Marin County where I tried numerous criminal cases to verdict.
