Windsor Maritime Lawyers

A father, husband, son and trial lawyer. A lawyer for the people who has never represented a mega-corporation or insurance company. I have chosen to devote my life to making sure the most important cases - the peoples' cases - are given a fighting chance in the court of law. We will go to trial if necessary, and only settle if the amount is fair and you approve it. Your case is important to me, because your case is about you and YOU are important to me. Every case is a cause.
