I have extensive experience in several areas of the law; however, a majority of my practice involves representing clients injured in traffic accidents, medical malpractice and other injury cases where victims have suffered serious injury or death. My knowledge of real estate law, collections, probate law and procedure helps me help my clients in several aspects of injury cases. Whether researching the owner of property in premise liability cases or the probate court procedure necessary to settle a minor child's injury case, my broad knowledge base is instrumental in getting cases resolved with satisfactory results.

We understand that making the decision to contact an attorney can be a difficult one. We know that clients want their attorney to be available, diligent, caring, knowledgeable, and work hard to resolve to resolve their matter successfully no matter what it may be. We know clients want their attorney to provide honest and open assessments of their matters and cases. We know clients are concerned about fees and costs. Each case and each client is important to us. It has always been our objective to do our best and to be as efficient as possible.

While growing up as the oldest child of nine, I would often complain to my stepfather about the fact that things around me were not happening fairly.

In the beginning, I focused on helping individuals and businesses plan for the future, and life’s inevitable events.

It soon became clear – the “problem solver” in me (a required character trait when you are the oldest of nine!) realized...
