Overview

With a reputation for being ready to handle just about any commercial matter that comes his way, Javon helps clients resolve business disputes both in and out of court.

Javon is a commercial litigator who primarily serves financial services clients and whose diverse practice encompasses a wide range of matters, including breach of contract, product liability, bankruptcy adversary proceedings and fraudulent transfer cases, premises liability, and employment cases, such as those involving noncompete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements and trade secret misappropriation. He’s always excited to dive into a new case and rapidly become a subject matter authority on the business and litigation in question.

An appreciable portion of Javon’s practice is devoted to serving providers of automotive aftermarket products and services, with coverage lawsuits that spring up across the country and demand early resolution—a particular gift of Javon’s. While Javon has gained experience as a fierce advocate in the courtroom, his true passion is negotiation and various forms of alternative dispute resolution. As a highly skilled negotiator, he excels at resolving matters before the client becomes entangled in protracted litigation.

While most of Javon’s work centers on commercial disputes, he has also developed a niche practice in transactional banking in the context of mortgage loan warehouse lending. After seizing an opportunity to handle these transactional matters early in his career, Javon quickly discovered that he thrived on the complexity of the work.
