After starting an insurance defense firm over 25 years ago, in February of 2012 I decided it was time to represent those injured rather than defend those who had caused injury.  My last case on the defense side involved a family who had accumulated over $450,000 of medical bills due to the accident.  I represented the driver who had caused the collision and our strategy was to admit fault and allege that the injuries were not caused by the collision.  It was a hard faught trial that lasted over a week and the end result was a defense verdict.  After seeing how crushed the plaintiffs were I decided that my energy should be spent helping those injured.  It is my pleasure to bring my extensive knowledge of auto tort law to the plaintiff's side.

Wonderful and attentive attorney
Blair took over my case from another law firm after the insurance company refused to make a fair offer. Blair was able to get me fair money and kept me informed about the process every step of the way. He was awesome.
