I believe that trial lawyers, along with the jury system, perform an integral function in our society, by leveling the playing field among parties with disparate economic resources. By focusing my practice on a select number of catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, rather than focusing on volume, I am able to devote the individual attention that each client deserves. As a result, the vast majority of my clients are referrals from other lawyers, judges and members of the community.
