Personal Injury 20%

If you are injured as a result of another person's or company's intentional or careless conduct, you have a right to be compensated and made financially whole. I offer free consultations to explore your rights, and explain in detail how I will fight to secure justice for you and your loved ones.

Expungement 15%

I am committed to helping my clients take advantage of Indiana's relatively new expungement laws, as well as relatively new provisions for specialized driving privileges. I refuse to allow my clients' prior convictions follow them long after their debt to society has been paid.

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.
