I have 37 years experience with the same law firm assisting a wide range of individual, governmental, insurance companies, and other institutional clients in Idaho and Wyoming in general civil litigation and estate planning. My cases have included jury and court trials in all state and federal trial courts, and appellate courts including the Idaho Supreme Court, Wyoming Supreme Court, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
