I have served as lead counsel in wrongful death cases in accidents involving construction equipment, automobiles, defective products, and negligent medical practice, to name a few. In these cases, my firm has recovered damages for surviving family members, including compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.

I and my colleagues at Langdon & Emison have represented plaintiffs in car accident cases across the country for more than 20 years. We investigate cases individually to determine the responsible party and use our skills to negotiate a favorable settlement with the insurance company or individual, backed by the ability and willingness to take a case to trial when necessary.

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.
