I love a fight for the underdog. I also love to read. Thankfully, I ended up in law school and got a job working as a deputy prosecutor trying cases; it was wonderful and eye opening and rewarding. I then had the privilege of working with State Supreme Court Justice JM Johnson for stint before returning to the prosecutor's office and trying more cases. I transitioned into a private practice where I focused on representing people, not corporations or governments, but real people who need a real lawyer.
My clients haver been a range of folks, some of whom needed my skill and advocacy as a trial lawyer, and many of whom needed guidance to a swift and favorable resolution. Overtime, with only so many hours in the day, my practice has become limited to representing injured people and their surviving families after negligent or worse acts cause catastrophic loss. Often this is in the context of insurance bad faith claims, as well as product liability and terrible trucking crashes.
