I've been a lifelong resident of the Inland Empire. Although I've been an attorney for over 20 years, I've done nothing but represent injured individuals of the Inland Empire for the past 15 years. Prior to that I served as a Marine Corps Officer where I cut my teeth in the courtroom as a trial lawyer in one of the busiest trial shops in the entire Department of Defense. I've remained an active reservist for over 23 years where I've advised some of the largest commands in the U.S. Marine Corps. In my civilian practice I've represented hundreds of individuals against the largest corporations and governmental institutions in the United States. We care about our fellow Inland Empire residents and take whatever steps necessary to protect our clients rights. We believe that our caring goes beyond the resolution of the case as our clients often refer to our firm as "my lawyers" even after the case has ended. My office brings the full force of some of the finest attorneys in the Inland Empire with the financial wherewithal to undertake even the most complex case.
