I cut my teeth in class action work while still a law clerk during law school. I have continued practicing class actions ever since. I love my work on class cases as they are often on, what I call, the "cutting edge of law." It also gives me the opportunity to help defend the rights of people whose substantive rights have been infringed upon and without the class mechanism could not find justice. I am fortunate to work with seasoned class action lawyers such as the firm's founder Eric Pavlack.

My practice with Pavlack Law is almost 100% civil litigation. I generally handle cases on a contingency fee basis because I believe in getting paid for results not for the almighty billable hour. This frees me up to put in a tremendous amount of time and effort on a case that would not otherwise be feasible for clients having to pay strictly for my time. I think this adds a lot of value to my clients' cases.

Personal Injury cases are often the most painful and heartwrenching cases I encounter. It is easy to see TV shows make light of the work of personal injury lawyers with comical looking clients in neck braces crying out for money and not justice. The reality of personal injury cases is much harsher. I see real pain and suffering of injured people. This is never more true than in the wrongful death context when I work with real people who have lost someone that no amount of money can ever replace.

I cut my teeth on appellate work while still a law student clerking for a local firm. I almost instantly fell in love with appeals and have had the great fortune of incorporating appellate work into my practice. This has allowed me to not only pursue my passion but to strength my position in trial work as well. Far too often trial practitioners will try to use the threat of an appeal as leverage only to find their bluff called for failure to have built an appellate background.
