Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to be a lawyer.

“As your attorney, it is my job to do whatever is necessary to help you, protect you, and get you the remarkable results you deserve.”
Personal injury cases can be difficult because you or a loved one has been the victim of a tragic accident. Oftentimes, when clients come to me, they feel hopeless and powerless knowing that they have to take on a big corporation or entity that has unlimited resources. It is my job to protect my clients and my experience, passion, and willingness to pursue justice has resulted in settlements and verdicts in excess of $1,000,000.
In fact, one of my most successful cases was a medical malpractice case. My client had a foot amputated when the doctors made a critical error. Although there were several medical malpractice attorneys for the defense, I was able to negotiate a spectacular settlement. Most importantly, I was able to guarantee that my client and his family were able to move forward from this terrible event and have a fulfilling future.
For over 20 years, I have represented a variety of individual and corporate clients in personal injury cases and have been laser focused on obtaining the most favorable outcomes for my clients. As such, I have received numerous successful verdicts and settlements for a variety of cases. My clients have recovered millions of dollars for construction injuries, products liability cases, property damage disputes, business torts, evictions, contract disputes, personal injury, and wrongful death. Every time a lucrative settlement is made or verdict is rendered, I walk away with a great feeling, knowing that I have protected my client and his/her future.
