Many attorneys on this site and others may seem to have high "ratings" but are they real? Do these attorneys really handle cases, go to court and try lawsuits? The highest rating possible from the largest rating service of lawyers in the world, Martindale- Hubbell, where Del is rated AV Preeminent. Less than 10% of all attorneys achieve this rating, and then only after at least a decade of experience.
Del has been practicing personal injury law for 35 years. He and his partner and their team have been together for over 30 years.
Del would be pleased to answer any questions you may have in the fields of personal injury, elder abuse, big rig truck accidents, medical malpractice, as well as automobile accidents, premises lliability (such as slip/trip and fall), products liabililty, medical device and similar cases.
Practice areas
The general personal injury cases include premises liability, animal attack/bite claims, claims involving store owners, HOA claims, and various construction claims. I have handled both the plaintiff and defense. Note that I do not charge for initial consultations and generally am only paid if I am successful for the injured party. On the defense side I can usually find a retainer arrangement to fit the client.

Tragedy strikes a family and the ripples of loss extend far beyond in most cases. Death claims require special attention to care for the family of the one they lost. Knowing what to do and when is of great value to the case and family. Families can release at least some of the grief by knowing the claim is being handled by counsel with a long record of success in the field. I do not charge for initial consultations and generally am only paid if I am successful for the injured party.
43 years
I have tried and/or handled claims involving a wide range of products. Products such as stud guns, mouth rinse, construction equipment failures, gas engines, diesel engines, boats, cautery instruments and other surgical supplies, beds, flooring, wax. I have had cases in these areas and many more over the years. Note that I do not charge for initial consults and generally am only paid if I am successful for the injured party.

Demanding because the client's future rest in my hands to maximize the value of the claim. Exceptional skill and resources are necessary as many times my client cannot testify, or can only do so marginally due to the very injury which prompted the injured person or family members to seek my consultation, which I gladly provide without expense.
