My passion for the law is eclipsed only by my passion for helping people who have been injured or wronged.    Sadly, I cannot restore an injured client's health, take away the pain and suffering they have endured, or give them back the time they have lost with loved ones.  What I can do, is make sure that those who are responsible are taken to task, and that they are made to feel the full weight and measure of the law.  Although a monetary award can never make a person whole, it can help to restore their dignity, get their lives back on track, and ensure that those responsible mend their ways.
