Got Hurt? GET PAID! Let 40 years of courtroom experience get you a fair settlement.
I have nearly 40 years of courtroom and litigation experience, getting compensation for people hurt on construction sites, car accidents, by falls, and by defective products -- whether at work, at home, or on the road. I'm a lifetime member of the Multimillion Dollar Advocates Forum, having litigated multiple cases paying more than $2 million dollars to injured clients, and have been selected as a member of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers Association. No case is too big -- or too small. I've handled everything from 'fender benders' to being one of the attorneys who sued 'Big Tobacco.' I'm known as a tough and creative advocate for my clients, and find out of the box solutions to difficult cases. I'm also a "lawyer's lawyer", with many other attorneys, and even law professors, coming to me to solve their hardest cases.
No one will work harder to get you fair compensation.
