Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I received a call from a first responder, who sustained life altering injuries while on the job. It was apparent that she would like never work again. Liability (legal responsibility for the collision) would be hotly contested, so I retained a reconstruction consultant to gather critical EDR (car black box) data and I gathered evidenced to establish the defendant was legally responsible in days (not weeks) after the collision. The client needed multiple surgeries over 6 months, which I guided her through many doctors' appointments and sleepless nights comforting her fears and anxiety. Given how quickly and completely work was done on her case, the defendant's insurance carrier tendered the entire $3 million insurance policy limits and our client had a recovery: monetarily, physically and emotional through a very difficult time in her life. I love helping people in need.
How did you build a successful practice?
One-on-one, personal service. I take time to explain the legal process case from the beginning though the final resolution of their case. My clients have my personal cell phone number so they can reach me when they need answers or a comforting person to talk with while they are trying to get through life changing injuries. I keep my clients informed and updated about developments in their cases. Simply, I treat my clients like they are my best friends and family.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Being on top of their cases, promptly returning calls, texts and emails, and being diligent throughout a very stressful time in the clients' lives.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge of the court system, potential jurors, etc. is important to a client's case.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
Consultations are tailored to the particular client's case, injuries and needs. Even if I cannot represent a particular client, I will do what I can to help guide them to potential resources so they can get the assistance they need.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
Information needed during the free phone consultation is case-by-case, but generally who, what, why, where and when info, and then follow up based on this information.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
One-on-one, personalized service. I don't use low paid "case managers" or "legal assistants" to work up your case. You retained me, and you get me. Having represented Fortune 500 companies and major insurance companies’ insureds in thousands of catastrophic personal injury and death actions for over a decade, I use this experience to aggressively, ethically and effectively represent trauma victims. Simply, I have worn both hats, as a defense and plaintiff lawyer for over 24 years. Unlike other lawyers, I have actually represented and consulted with large corporations' CEOs and boards of directors and insurance companies' upper management in catastrophic personal injury and death actions, which provides insight and effective representation for my clients, who suffered life-changing injuries. Being there for my clients matters. Experience matters.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
I love helping people in need and being an advocate for those injured and wronged by others.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Gardening, spending time with my wife and child, and going to baseball games.
Are you involved in your community?
I provide pro bono legal services for those in need.
