Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
A woman fell upon entering a clothing store. She sustained a catastrophic injury. The Insurance company claimed that there was no defect. Upon my clandestine inspection of the entrance to the store I perceived no readily visible defect. However, I had a hunch. I commenced the lawsuit and then motioned to the Court to allow formal inspection of the entrance; the Motion was granted. The expert witness I selected to examine the entrance confirmed my hunch. Indeed the expert discovered the defect that caused the fall. The case soon settled for a six figure amount. The client was very happy.
How did you build a successful practice?
Needless to say, hard work. Myself and the other lawyers in my office strive to treat each of our clients in the manner in which we would want to be treated. We communicate with our clients regularly keeping them involved in their case. We never settle case with out the client's authorization. We offer free consultations for many areas of the law in which we practice and do not take on cases if we do not think it is the best interest of the client. The words honesty, openness, ethical, aggressive, loyal, determined, creative, knowledgeable, flexible and professional all apply. We offer evening and weekend appointments.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Loyalty, honesty, ethics, creativity, knowledge, determination, aggressive, successful, communicative, flexibility and professionalism. Loyal, honest, ethical, creative, knowledgeable, determined, aggressive, communicates, flexible, and professional.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge is very important, Such as knowledge as to real estate in a town or county. Knowledge as to the customs and practices of professionals in the communities we serve. Knowledge of the procedures in the Probate Courts, Superior Courts and so forth.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
We can typically provide a general explanation of the legal issues involved in the matter for which you have called. Whether retaining our firm makes sense or whether an additional consultation is warranted. We can also provide a preliminary understanding of what the cost may be for our services or explain why there is no up front cost to you. Free consultations available for most practice areas.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
There are many good to excellent lawyers in our community. We provide Loyalty, honesty, ethics, creativity, knowledge, determination, success, communication, flexibility and professionalism.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The most rewarding aspect of a personal injury or workers\' compensation case is when we turn a no pay or a denied claim into a large settlement for our clients. With Bankruptcy it is when we lift insurmountable debt off of our clients\' shoulders. With real estate when we help a client into their first home. With employment law when we obtain justice from a wronged employee. With Probate, when we resolve complicated estate issues like will contests.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
I enjoy my family, traveling, gardening, farming and outdoor matters. Our other lawyers enjoy sports, baseball, golf, community service, their families, good restaurants and wine.
