DE, Dec 1982
Bar Number: 2140

I am admitted to practice before all state Delaware Trial Courts.

I am a proud member of the American Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association, the Delaware Bar Association, and the Bar Associations of DC (inactive), Georgia (inactive), and California (inactive).

I fulfill continuing education requirements by attending yearly seminars on personal injury and workers compensation issues.

I was the co-author of a publication entitled "Utilizing the Paralegal in Real Estate Settlements."

I handled a case involving a tractor trailer which had t-boned my client's vehicle. My client suffered serious injuries, including brain damage. After much work, we were able to locate a second applicable insurance policy and obtained a settlement in excess of $4 million.

I litigated a case involving work injuries from a refinery explosion. We were able to obtain workers' compensation for our client, and in addition, sued and were able to obtain an award of over $1.2 million against the refinery owners.

I have been actively licensed in Delaware for 28 years, since 1982. I also licensed, but inactive, in DC, Georgia and California.

My law partner, Andrew Rahaim and I started practicing law in the early 80s. In 1993, we decided to start our own law firm to focus on protecting and helping people who had been injured in accidents and at work. Our attorneys and staff are very adept and experienced at dealing with the insurance companies in these cases, so our clients don't have to. We have also handled medical negligence claims. Over time, our clients also expressed the need for help in criminal defense matters, family law, bankruptcy cases and the preparation of simple wills. We have brought other attorneys in to our practice so that we can help in all these areas.



My law firm focuses on helping all people who need legal assistance and protection. We primarily handle all types of injury cases, including automobile accident related matters, slip and falls, and work injuries. We also help with medical negligence matters. We have a family law department that has helped hundreds of clients handle Family Court matters of all types. We also have a Bankruptcy department that handles Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies. We handle all types of criminal charges, including DUIs. We also prepare simple wills and healthcare directives for our clients.

I worked for and became a partner in another law firm until leaving in 1993 to start my own firm.

I have been BV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell (Very High Legal Ability and Legal Ethics). I have provided pro-bono work for the Delaware Bar Association for elderly and infirm needing wills and healthcare directives. I have served on the Board of Governors of the Delaware Trial Lawyers for three years. I was chosen as one of the top 100 Delaware Trial Lawyers by the American trial Lawyers Association.
