When I started my law career, my goal was to make a positive social impact on the community. If I can use my gifts and skills to better the life of someone else — especially during times as trying as these circumstances — then I’ve done my job. For me, being an attorney is about more than accomplishing a childhood dream. It’s about being a voice for the voiceless and a guide for the people and families who deserve justice. This is my purpose — and it’s one that can make a difference in cultivating a promising future for you. I’ve helped people from all walks of life receive financial compensation for their personal injury cases. As a result, not only did they get the money they needed, but their minds were put to ease and they had peace in moving forward with their lives. Personal injuries are devastating for everyone involved, especially the person who was hurt. From medical negligence to nursing home abuse and accidents of various kinds, my life’s work is built around helping people in these situations take a breath and take control. In addition to skills, there are three key factors that I believe a good attorney needs to build a trusting relationship with their clients: experience, friendliness, and thoroughness. In working with me, you’ll find that I’m well seasoned in law, I genuinely care about your well-being, and my attention to detail excels most. With 27 years of practicing law, you can be confident that I’ll do what it takes in my fight for you. When you look at how things stack up right now, it may feel like you don’t have a lot of control. You may feel helpless and forsaken like you’re up the creek without a paddle. Expenses may be piling up and that can just add to the stress you're already experiencing. I’m here to let you know that you have a lot more command than you think. I can help you experience how good it feels to have the might of the law in your corner. I’ll listen intently to all the details of your case and, together, we can figure this thing out. Your welfare is my main concern. Schedule a time to talk with me today and let’s begin to move some of the stress off your plate.
