I have practiced Workers' Compensation law for many years and am very familiar with the laws, rules, and procedures, as well as the Judges and opposing attorneys. This gives me an advantage over other attorneys in the field. I have worked both representing injured workers, as well as defending Workers' Compensation claims, so I understand both sides of the system. Since I prefer helping injured workers, I have spent the majority of my legal career doing so. Before going to law school, I earned a Bachelor's degree in pre-medical studies, so that I have the medical knowledge to understand your injuries and assure that you receive proper evaluation and treatment. Experience makes all the difference in succeeding on your claim.
