About Carl
Practice areas
- Litigation: 47%
I represent clients in most areas of civil litigation. You can rest assured that you’re gaining decades of legal experience when you use me for your civil matters. Over the decades, I have accumulated much experience in many areas of civil litigation. At the core of my experience is the fact that I am a trial lawyer. Many attorneys and civil lawyers have never seen the inside of the court room. When you hire me as your lawyer, you not only get my legal knowledge, but also my trial experience.

Helping businesses and individuals with cases involving accidents of all types whether the issues are simple or complex.
31 years
- Wrongful death: 14%
I will help determine if an individual had a legal duty to a loved one or friend. Then I will help determine did the party allegedly responsible for the injuries and death (the defendant) owe the victim a duty to not harm them or protect him or her from harm. I will help engage in determining if the Defendant acted negligently or failed to act in the manner required or normally expected, and if so, counsel you on next steps.
