We focused on our clients and out everything into helping them achieve the best possible outcome. We work to find them the best doctors and other assistance while fighting for fair compensation for our clients. We did this while keeping the focus on running a practice with integrity.

The client should look for someone he/she can trust. Without the trust between client and attorney, it is difficult to move forward on a case. The attorney should be interested in the client as a person and not a money making opportunity. The attorney should also be willing to work hard and fight for that client. The attorney should advise the client when an offer is not fair and explain why litigation will prove necessary.

An attorney's knowledge of the court system and especially the particular judge is invaluable. Each judge has a little bit different way that they run hearings, trials, and the like, The attorney who knows the judge and adapts his approach to the judge allows for a better potential outcome for the client. In pre-suit cases, it is important to know the local doctors and other experts on both sides. Being able to expose the defense's hired expert is important.

Being able to meet new people and help guide people through difficult situations is rewarding. I like the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives, whether it is because they recovered because they received the best treatment possible or they could not recover from their injuries but received just compensation to allow them to move forward.

Our firm has been a very active member of the community since its inception. We have sponsored numerous events for charities, schools, churches, and other civic organizations. I have been on several charity boards, including being the longest serving chairperson of HOPE Helps during a time when the organization bought two buildings with a large capital campaign. I have been the president of the Oviedo Police Foundation for five years which provides additional support and training to local officers. I have also been involved in law related organizations and currently serve on the board for the Central Florida Trial Lawyers.
