BIOGRAPHY
A member of the California Bar Association since 1973, I received my legal education Texas. A Vietnam era veteran, I served in the United State Army JAG Corps as a criminal defense attorney. Following completion of my military service I worked for the Federal Trade Commission in anti-trust and consumer law enforcement. I have been employed by three of the four national TV broadcast networks and a major motion picture studio. Also, I have served as an adjunct law instructor at a private local Los Angeles law school teaching intellectual property, entertainment and television production law.
I am a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, former chair of the Intellectual Property and Entertainment Section. I have held memberships in the Los Angeles Copyright Society, Beverly Hills Bar Association and the California Lawyers for the Arts.
