These claims all seem so simple - but insurance adjusters are doing whatever they can to save money - at your expense - in every part of the claim. From the vehicle repair to the injury settlement, I'll protect you from their antics.

Motorcycle Accident 10%

The only thing worse than having to heal from injuries from a motorcycle accident is having to deal with an insurance adjuster who discounts your experience. We can help protect you from their actions, and get you some fair compensation.

Spinal Cord Injury 10%

There's nothing more frustrating than suffering a serious injury and listening to an insurance adjuster telling you that you weren't as injured as you say. I can protect you from this and get you a great result.

Trucking Accident 10%

Trucking accident cases are frustrating because they not only usually involve a permanent injury, but also an insurance adjuster that will frustrate you and actively work toward making sure you get as little compensation as possible. I can help.

Thank You Steve!

It was so convenient for me that Steve was available late at night & on the weekends. He always got back to me & answered all my questions. I really appreciate it.

Posted by anonymous | September 05, 2012 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Pleased customer

Steve made me feel comfortable in my awkwardness to file bankruptcy. He was not judgemental or condescending in his attitude towards me. I have not only communicated with Steve directly and by phone, but he responded to my email questions in a timely manner. He was thorough in explaining all aspects ...of the information I would need to supply and how it is used. His office is inviting and comfortable and his staff is very professional. I always leave his office feeling good about having chose him to represent me and will definately recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer in the future.
