I have been an attorney in private practice representing people, not corporations, for the past 30 years. I have found the most satisfaction and success in the area of litigation. I believe that without proper representation, an injured person will not receive just compensation. I have obtained settlements for my clients of over a million dollars in each of the last 15 years.
