How My Business Background Benefits You

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration in 1985, and I have continued to work with businesses throughout my legal career. This, of course, is why so many clients turn to me regarding matters of business and employment law, but my experience enhances other areas of my practice, as well.

In cases of personal injury, for example, I am often up against powerful corporations, but my business acumen allows me to better anticipate their strategies and tactics. Furthermore, the negotiation skills I possess help me better resolve cases of all kinds.

Guiding You Through it All

PAYING MEDICAL BILLS


Your focus should be on healing - not on financing your treatment. I will advise you on how to manage the cost of healthcare.

TAKING TIME OFF WORK


Similarly, you shouldn't have to think about working until you've healed. I'll help build a strategy that accommodates your needs.

RECLAIMING YOUR LIFE


An injury can turn your world upside down, but I will be here to propel your physical, financial, and emotional recovery.

Working to Enable Bright & Fulfilling Futures


When you have suffered an injury, taking legal action is about more than just winning a case or even recovering financial compensation. In truth, it is about regaining your power and setting yourself up for success in the years to come.

Under the guidance of quality legal representation, you can turn an otherwise unfortunate situation around in your favor. As an experienced personal injury attorney, I have led countless others back to health and prosperity, and I'd love to do the same for you.

Though every situation is unique, after working with countless personal injury clients over the past 30 years, I have a decent understanding of what you've been through. I realize it may feel difficult to fight back when you're unwell. I also know that the opposing party's insurance company has likely tried to convince you that they cannot pay you more than a certain amount. In reality, such claims are generally untrue. Furthermore, even if you think their initial offer is fair, you could be vastly underestimating how much your total rehabilitative care will cost. For a thorough evaluation of your case, contact my office to receive a free consultation.
