I am an attorney representing insurance policyholders and employees. After practicing law in Pittsburgh, PA for many years, I relocated to Seattle in 2017 with my wife, a native of the Pacific Northwest. Since then, I have continued representing insurance policyholders throughout Washington and am enjoying exploring the beautiful Washington wilderness.
Note: I'm proud to have been well-reviewed by former clients and endorsed by other attorneys, but please keep in mind that those reviews or endorsements don't constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.
