Practice Areas

Personal Injury 95%

I represent people injured by the intentional or negligent acts of others. Many of my cases are claims on behalf of sexual abuse victims against their abusers and/or people who failed to protect them from abuse. Some of these are adults who were sexually abused during childhood. I also represent people injured in traffic collisions, or otherwise due to the negligence of others.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
