Practice Areas
I exclusively represent people who have been injured and should be fairly compensated for their injuries. I fight for their rights and stand up for them in court to ensure maximum justice.
Many lawyers in my field want the quick settlement but I want to make sure my clients have their day in court. I take cases to trial, if it’s in the client’s best interest, to make sure they get fair and just compensation for what has been taken from them by those that injured them.
Personal Injury
When you or a loved one is injured or killed due to someone else’s negligence, you have the right to receive compensation for your personal injuries.
Medical Negligence
Medical error is the third leading cause of death in America. If you’ve been hurt because of a hospital’s or doctor’s negligence you could be entitled to compensation.
Nursing Home Negligence
When a loved one is abused, neglected or injured as a result of poor nursing home care, you need attorneys in your corner who know how to hold negligent nursing home operators accountable for their actions.
Traumatic Brain Injury
“Traumatic brain injury” describes an injury that occurs when an outside force impacts the skull and damages the brain, whether or not the skull is broken open. These injuries are common and can result from automobile accidents, construction accidents, falls, bicycle accidents and any other incident involving trauma to the head.
