Car Accident 34%

I have been blessed to have clients entrust me to represent them on multi-millon dollar cases. But I equally proud of the trust shown by clients who did not have multi-million dollar cases. In fact, looking back on my 16 years of practice, many of my proudest moments in my practice came from participation in cases in which I made no attorney fee or only a relatively small fee.

I have started accepting Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) cases. Everyone deserves a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. Unfortunately, many employers are finding ways to cut corners by not living up to their end of the deal and fairly paying their employees. If that happens to you, please call me.

Medical professionals are not bad people, but, like all people, they do make mistakes. When that happens, and patients are injured, holding the medical professionals responsible helps protect the community from the same types of mistakes in the future and helps protect the community from incurring the costs as a whole.
