About

  • My focus for more than 25 years has been to advocate fearlessly for clients who have been injured because of the negligence and recklessness of others
  • Whether you have been hurt by a healthcare provider’s error, a driver’s wrongful actions, or a corporation’s decision to sell a defective product, I have the expertise and insight to right that wrong
  • My clients hire me to take on their problems and solve them
  • Having tried nearly 50 cases to jury verdict brings an intensity and focus to my work that is reflected in the exceptional preparation and great care I take with every case and client
  • Opposing counsel and their clients know which attorneys try cases, and which do not
  • That knowledge is commonly reflected in higher settlement offers in cases where defendants know the attorneys are not too intimidated to show up at trial
  • I am not afraid, and I will always show up
  • My motto is simple: “I’m nice, until I’m provoked.” In practice, if my opponents treat me, my team, and our clients with respect, they will happily get the same in return
  • If that practice ever changes, I will forever maintain my composure, but I will not tolerate incivility, and there will be measurable consequences
  • Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, and I will ensure that result
  • I am not satisfied until justice is served—whether that takes weeks or years, and whether it happens through a settlement or a jury trial
  • I’m a serious person with serious responsibilities that I do not take lightly
  • I will guide you through the complexities of the legal proceedings and lead you to a resolution that will enable you or your loved one to move forward
  • Put simply, I will fight tirelessly for you and earn your trust
