Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

In a number of cases I use the knowledge I have of insurance companies to submit a settlement proposal that works. I spent over 17 years as defense counsel for major insurance companies and I know what they are looking for and what they fear.

How did you build a successful practice?

I built my successful practice through hard work and study. I study medicine and trial strategy very often. About 17 lawyers send me their cases.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

A client should look for a lawyer that cares about them as a person and tries to understand what they are going through either as an injured client or an accused. They should always ask how many actual trials that lawyer has had.

Phone consultations are good to see if I can help the client. I give them an outline as to what I think I can do for them.
