Car Accident 5%

Same as for Personal Injury. Don't sign anything until you have had a chance to consult with an attorney. The insurance companies want to get you off their books for as little and as quickly as possible.

Corporate and Incorporation 5%

As a Chemist I created a product and got a company to fund it. I directed the production and financing of the project and when it was time sold what had become a prosperous division of the company. Executive Contracts are also an area I understand well.

Mediation 5%

Mediation is a very efficient means of solving an issue, both sides must be willing to learn to listen and adapt to the changing situation. Family Law is an ideal p[lace for this. Usually getting an agreement is a lot easier than people imagine. No it isn't easy, but getting to the core of each person's needs and concerns in a friendly setting is easier on each person than a court room where anything can happen. It can be a very effective tool and save people a lot of money.

Workers Compensation 5%

When you are hurt on the job do not let your employer get you to use your own resources to take care of your injury. They are responsible even if it was your mistake that caused the injury. Worker's compensation has several parts. First is getting medical care paid for and getting you paid while you are out of work. Then there is a possible payoff if there is a permanent injury. Than can include some allowance for other expenses.

Caring, competent, and kicks butt!

Helpful with my case when I got hurt. Listened to my issues, let me know what to expect while I healed and wouldn't back down when the insurance company kept on trying to lowball me. He got me what I deserved. I recently went back for my living will, and he was great with that too.
