Practice Areas

Car Accident 70%

This is my main practice area because it is the most common scenario where an innocent person gets injured through no fault of their own.

17 years

70%
Animal and Dog Bites 10%

I'm a dog lover who believes other dog owners should be responsible for injuries caused by their pets.

17 years

10%
Motorcycle Accident 5%

These cases typically have catastrophic injuries, so I often spend most of my time looking for additional sources of insurance coverage. I love looking for that third, fourth, or fifth source of recovery.

5%
Slip and Fall Accident 5%

One of the most difficult areas of law in Delaware to successfully litigate, but it can also be one of the most fulfilling.

5%
Trucking Accident 4%

Like motorcycle cases, injuries are often catastrophic, except usually coverage isn't the issue. The issue is an insurer that has begun fighting the claim before the accident scene has even been cleared. These cases require time and experience.

4%
Administrative Law 3%

Representing licensed professionals, mainly but not exclusively within the healthcare fields, before the relevant licensing board within the Division of Professional Regulation.

3%
Wrongful Death 2%

These cases are tough. It is a balance of looking under every rock for possible recovery sources while also dealing with the emotions of the grieving survivors. The ultimate test for a professional.

17 years

2%
Personal Injury 1%

"Personal injury" is just a catch-all term for most of my other practice areas. I included it here solely in case you were searching for a "personal injury" attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
