My terrorism litigation work covers cases against corporations and foreign governments accused of aiding and abetting acts of terrorism, domestically and internationally. Cases like these move through the courts for years, and by the time a judgment or settlement is reported, the people behind it are usually reduced to a case caption or a total dollar figure. They deserve better than that. My approach is to build the human story — carefully, with full survivor and family consent — alongside the legal case, so the coverage reflects who was actually affected, not just what was awarded.
These cases are built on a narrow set of federal statutes — the Anti-Terrorism Act, JASTA, and the state-sponsor exception to sovereign immunity — that let American victims and their families sue the people and institutions who financed the attack that hurt them, not just the attacker himself. That's a different kind of case than most litigation communications work: the defendant is often a bank, a corporation, or a foreign government accused of moving money through the financial system to reach a terrorist organization, and the case can run a decade or more from filing to judgment to actual collection.
My job in that timeline isn't the legal theory — it's making sure the people the case is actually about don't disappear into it. By the time a judgment gets reported, the coverage is almost always about the dollar figure and the defendant's name. The victims and families become a footnote to their own case. I work directly with survivors and families — always with their consent, always on their timeline, never rushed to fit a filing date — to build the human story that runs alongside the legal one, so when the case does make news, it's their story that lands, not just the number.
Coordinates a communications plan around active or resolved terrorism-related litigation, timed to the case's own calendar rather than a generic press schedule.
National media placement and coverage that centers survivors and families, not just the settlement or judgment total.
Your case gets the visibility that supports the legal strategy, and your clients get a story told on their terms.
I don't identify individual matters, survivors, or clients without express permission. I can speak in detail about the process, the media relationships, and the 25 years of experience behind it.
Placements include The Daily, CNBC, and the Joe Rogan Experience, along with wire and print pickup — I built the media program for the $190 million Johns Hopkins settlement, an AP wire placement with same-day pickup in the Times, the Post, and the Journal.
Nothing runs without full survivor and family consent, and no one I represent learns they're in the news by reading it themselves. The legal case and the human story move together, not on separate timelines.
