Death and Injury Law is all I do.  It’s what I love to do.  For more than 25 years, I’ve been the lawyer for people changed by serious injury or wrongful death.  I live it every day.

Click “Ask Mike” for articles I’ve written to common questions arising in Kentucky and Tennessee personal injury and wrongful death cases.  

You will not see me on TV, but you will see me when you need me.  I make home and hospital visits, linking directly to my computer systems wherever you take me.  I do not spend time or money making TV ads.  I spend time and money making your case.  From our first contact, you will get real and honest answers based on practical experience and advice.

My staff and I have the skills serious injury and wrongful death cases require. My office is recognized as a leader in legal technology.  My staff averages more than 20 years of legal experience.

You don’t need any money to hire me.  There are no hidden fees or costs to you and you do not need any money to put me to work.  Everything will be explained and put in writing for you to keep.

I will send you a copy of my work in your case.  All my work in your case is emailed or mailed to you.  We are always available to answer your questions.

Cases are not created equally, and cases are not compensated equally.   How you and your lawyer work together is critical. You will find me and my office staff accessible and responsive.  How your lawyer builds your case directly impacts how your case is valued by the insurance company.  My staff and I have been trained by independent consultants on the evaluation procedures insurance companies use to pay claims.  We know what to look for, how to document what we see, and how to meaningfully present your claim to the insurance company for a full and fair settlement evaluation.

We litigate cases when insurance companies will not settle in good faith. We regularly litigate cases and go to Court.  We are familiar with most judges and the Court staff who assist the judge.  If the Judge is new, we have contacts over Kentucky and Tennessee to bring us up to speed. Technology in the Courtroom is something I have been doing for years.  You have a constitutional right to trial by jury.  The lawyer you choose exercises those rights.  I have years of training and experience to support your case.
