When you call my office, you speak to me. I handle it all. I will take your case to trial if it needs that.

There are things that may take you by surprise after an injury: You have no way to get anywhere, you may miss work, strange people from insurance companies are calling, letters from insurance companies asking you to sign legal-looking paperwork. Worst of all, bills you can’t afford are arriving in the mail. Your injury is traumatic, unsettling and disturbing. You had enough things to take care of in your life before…. Now this.

You need someone to handle it all. You will talk, text and conference with me. I know what’s happened in your life. I know because I’ve been doing this 36 years.

I’ve been solving these problems for my clients for 36 years. I understand. All my clients felt the way you do right now, until I took over. When you hire me, you will feel a sense of relief: “Thank goodness, someone to handle this.”

As your lawyer, it is my mission to give you back your life. I call it: “Personalized Personal Injury Law.” Personalized Personal Injury Law or “PPIL”© is pronounced like “people” because that’s what it’s centered on: individualized attention to people.  The lawyer you see on this page is the one who handles your case from start to finish.

I prepare every case as if it is going to trial. That puts you in a stronger position to get the best verdict or settlement. Solving your injury problems gets my personal attention to obtain the best results possible in the most reasonable period of time.

The insurance companies knows which lawyers go to court and which don’t. Pick one that does. The insurance companies know I will sue them. I will act in your best interests.

I will solve all your legal problems from this crash.

    Concussions • Dazed • Knocked Unconscious

    When the human brain is damaged by any force from a fall, a bicycle or motor vehicle crash, life is changed.

    I can help you.

    ANY injury to the brain, no matter how mild, is called traumatic brain injury (TBI). A concussion is a brain injury.

    Billboard/TV lawyers mishandling your personal injury case

    Insurance companies know that Billboard/TV lawyers simply don’t have enough lawyers to prepare, review, work up and take all of their client’s cases to trial. Insurance companies therefore almost always settle their cases with Billboard/TV lawyers for what the insurance company wants to pay, not what the case is worth. Billboard/TV lawyers are simply high-volume “mills” for low-value settlements.

    Lawyers, like any professionals, can severely affect your life. A bad medical doctor can cripple you. A bad accountant can take your all your money. A bad architect or engineer can design a building that collapses killing everyone.

    Why would you get such a professional from a billboard or a television ad?

    If you (or someone you know) made the mistake of hiring a billboard/t.v. lawyer and that lawyer pressured you to settle your case for less than what it should have received, call me.
