Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
A client was suffered injuries when she was struck by a vehicle. Fortunately, her injuries healed. I was able to insure that all of her medical bills, including copays were paid.

It is gratifying to be able to help clients get back on their feet after a setback, or an injury, and my role is to get the compensation that they deserve for the injuries and harm suffered.
