Example Cases
I spend most of my time with sexual harassment and abuse, employment, nursing home neglect, and serious personal injury litigation, which includes elder/dependent abuse, product liability, premises liability, and motor carrier liability. These are some of the more recent verdicts and settlements we have obtained for our clients. However, every individual case must be evaluated on its own merits and there can be no assurance that our clients will recover any sum in their case.

I have represented many individual plaintiffs from all walks of life, as well as corporate and insurance defendants.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I believe the more educated the clients, the easier they are to help.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes, I am willing to review documents prepared by clients, at an hourly rate.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
Yes, I am willing to coach a client that wishes to represent themselves, at an hourly rate.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
After completing my undergraduate degree, I became frustrated by the over saturation of professionals in my field. I chose to pursue law because of its versatility. My first year in law school, my ethics professor declared why he had chosen to be a lawyer and it made a lasting impression on me: "I chose to become a lawyer to be the hammer rather than the nail." After I completed law school, my first job was in litigation. I knew as soon as I began practicing that this was the field for me.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
My experience as managing partner of my firm has provided education. Further, my experience in sales has immensely helped relations with clients, other attorneys, and judges. As an aggressive advocate, I am marketing not only myself, but my cause as well.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I went where the need was. When I started in Employment Law, it was a dynamic and growing area. Every week you read a new case or review a precedent that changes the field again; it is constantly evolving. I enjoy the intellectual challenge and believe my specialty is very interesting.
What do you like best about your career?
I like litigation best.
