Meet Your Mentor

My clients are more than just the cases they represent. I am passionate about achieving justice for them.

Over 30 Years of Trucking Litigation

I specialize in helping people hurt in tractor trailer (trucking) accidents. I use advanced legal theory, thirty years experience and determination to achieve justice for my clients. Justice is having a fighter in your corner; a lawyer who is responsive, treats every case as a priority and provides a superior settlement. I work with a small number of cases and provide personal attention. Experience and work wins cases.
I’ve spent over 30 years honing my craft in personal injury litigation. I was drawn to personal injury because I was fascinated by trial law. I enjoyed having the ability to change people’s lives. Medicaid and Truck Transportation companies and their insurance teams wield tremendous power over accident victims. I enjoy using my experience and expertise to provide power to people who would otherwise have no voice.

Other firms who take any case offered them are practicing a business model that forces them to quickly settle cases without becoming experts in the cases they represent. This means justice is sacrificed because other firms haven’t developed the expertise or desire needed to achieve the highest value of the case.
