As an attorney who also practiced as a registered nurse and chiropractic physician, it is my goal to understand client's injuries and make sure that each client receives the best care possible for the restoration of health.
My background as a doctor enhances my ability to accurately and persuasively describe client's injuries to insurance adjusters, arbitrators, judges, and juries.

I have known Leonard since he was in law school and he and I would have lunch to discuss my experiences in the practice of law as he was learning how to be an attorney. Leonard is highly intelligent, has a healthcare background and will do an excellent job for any client that is unable to contact me. :)
