My practice for the past forty-three (43) years has consisted in substantial part in litigating workers’ compensation cases throughout South Florida. I have also represented in the past both insurance carriers and claimants, however, for many years, undersigned has solely represented claimants in complex and catastrophic workers’ compensation cases.

I have also been certified by the Florida Supreme Court as a Court Arbitrator and have been selected by the American Arbitration Association as an arbitrator and has arbitrated and mediated many cases.
