About Jim
Biography
I am an injury lawyer. I represent people who have been seriously injured in car crashes, falls, dog attacks, construction accidents, and by defective products. We also represent those who have been injured or financially hurt due to the malpractice of their doctors, lawyers, and accountants. I do what I do simply because I want to help people. People who have been hurt have enough to worry about. I want to use my expertise to guide my clients through the legal maze and obtain justice for them.
