About Joseph
Biography
Joe’s practice focuses on the zealous representation of injured and disabled people. In the personal injury area, he has developed expertise in the psychiatric aspects of personal injuries, and his successes include substantial recoveries on behalf of clients who developed psychological conversion disorders following physical injuries. He has handled long term disability claims arising from diverse medical conditions including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Guillan-Barre, hepatitis C, carcinogenic exposure, Clostridium difficile, Crohn’s, TMJ, thoracic outlet syndrome, and many other conditions. He welcomes the challenge of mastering the medical aspects of his cases and finding creative ways to ensure that his clients’ injuries and illnesses are comprehensively diagnosed and treated.
Joe strives to ensure that every client receives the best quality and most appropriate medical care possible. Joe believes that winning is not just about getting the best possible financial outcome for the client; rather, it is about achieving maximum medical recovery and quality of life. Joe believes this may mean getting opinions from different medical specialties and considering alternative treatments.
I am available to all of my clients and work directly with them on each case. I am taking clients by appointment only.
My goals are to get you fair compensation AND appropriate medical care to maximize healing.
I work with you and your medical records to create the strongest disability case possible.
