“With over 40 years of experience as a lawyer, I have handled many personal injury and wrongful death suits, both as a plaintiff’s lawyer and as a defense attorney. I have also prosecuted and defended many cases in federal court and State court over these years. Experience on both sides in civil and criminal litigation matters gives me a solid perspective on the law, as it enables me to anticipate what the other side is doing and thinking when I am involved in a client’s case. This is a distinct advantage to my clients in my helping them understand the strengths and weaknesses of their cases. This is why experience counts. Feel free to call me to discuss your case at, as there is no charge for an initial consultation in both personal injury/wrongful death or criminal defense cases.”
