About Leonard

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.   

Practice areas

    Complete legal counsel for those who have been hurt as a result of another person's negligence. This includes injuries that have resulted from auto collisions, premises liability, truck collisions, motorcycle collisions, auto v. pedestrian collisions, and animal attacks.

    18 years, 1,500 cases
