I have successfully protected and defended the rights of individuals, start-ups, and large corporations. Here are examples of cases that illustrate my broad experience as both a plaintiff's and defense counsel: Represented as one of the lead plaintiff's counsel for freelance authors nationwide whose copyrighted works were infringed upon by national newspapers and electronic databases on the internet. Represented the widow of a celebrity when her deceased husband's likeness was sold on the internet and used by icons of the entertainment industry. Represented a minor child whose photograph was used commercially on the internet without consent. Represented an inventor and manufacturer of security devices whose trade secrets were taken and whose patent was infringed by another security industry vendor. Protected the rights of an inventor of software whose copyrighted source code was used by a major software security vendor.
