These are not just words to me. These are the principles that guide my practice every day.

Integrity. When a client retains me, he or she is depending on me for help. Legal problems, whether a personal injury case, a divorce, a business dispute or other matters, are one of the most stressful things in life a person undergoes. I do not take that lightly. I pride myself on doing the best job I can for each and every client. Knowing that I have done my best for each client is the most gratifying part of practicing law for me. I will always represent you with the utmost integrity. We will work together as a team to arrive at the best possible solution for your legal problem.

Excellence. When faced with a legal problem, you deserve excellence. The practice of law is a challenging profession. I enjoy that challenge, and I never stop trying to better myself as a lawyer so that I may best serve my clients. My goal in every case is to provide the client with the excellence he or she deserves. I take great pride in that. I am humbled that several of my clients have provided testimonials to that excellence on this website.

Experience. I have been a lawyer for twenty-one years. I have handled thousands of cases. Earlier in my career, my practice was focused mainly on personal injury cases. I have been fortunate enough to have been involved in several multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. I have tried complex medical malpractice cases against major hospitals. I have handled cases against some of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. I have sued major insurance companies. Five years ago, I left the large firm environment to start my own practice so that I could better serve clients. Since that time, I have handled multi-million dollar medical malpractice cases, automobile and truck accidents, personal injury, family law matters and business litigation. Many lawyers are ill-equipped to take a case to trial. Many lawyers have not tried many cases. I have tried over sixty cases to verdict. I have the experience to meet your needs.

Compassion. When a client retains me, it is because he or she is faced with a very challenging time in his or her life. The legal system is frightening to people. I never forget that. If you have a legal problem, you deserve a lawyer who will have compassion and empathy for your situation. Too often, lawyers forget the challenges each client is facing. Every client’s case is very important to me. I put myself in each client’s shoes and remember how much each client is counting on me to guide them through this difficult time.
