Cost-Effective, Aggressive Litigation with Personalized Representation
I started my Litigation practice in a big law firm, handing various civil matters including Insurance Defense, Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury. After twelve years learning the craft and perfecting Law & Motion, discovery and Trial Practice, I went out on my own. I bring the vast experience I learned at the big firm with big clients to every day clients who simply need legal help and expertise. Excelling in trial practice and litigation, I began practicing Family Law, helping people have a voice where they otherwise could not.
