For the last 30 years, I’ve been helping people like you handle the trauma of being injured or disabled. Over the past year and half my clients have received settlements in excess of 8 million dollars. Approximately half of my practice is personal injury where I help individuals recover from the effects of being hurt in a car, motorcycle, or truck accident. I’m paid on a contingency fee basis which means you don’t pay me until the insurance company settles with you, so essentially they are paying my fees. Approximately fifty percent of my practice is helping people navigate the social security disability maze. The government pays my fees, so please don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
