I have significant experience representing injury victims and their families. Holding individuals, corporations, and government entities accountable for the damages they cause. To date, my clients have been awarded more than $50 million in settlements and verdicts.
I built a reputation for obtaining significant results in medical malpractice cases, appearing twice in Arizona's Top 10 highest verdicts since 2012. My results have led to my involvement in some high-profile cases.
Growing up in New York taught me perseverance, the importance of family and friends, and the value of fighting for the little guy. So I dedicated my career fighting for justice and fighting to hold wrongdoers accountable for their transgressions.
