I am a lifelong resident of the Metro East. I was born and raised in Belleville in a working class family. My father was a union man, and I, as well as my brothers also belonged to unions.. Like many of you, I entered the work force at 16 and have worked continuously since. I worked my way through school and graduated with a degree in business administration with "High Honors" from Western Illinois University in 1978. From there, I went to law school at St. Louis University and graduated "Cum Laude" in 1981. Upon graduation, I began working in Belleville and have maintained my practice in Belleville since that time.. I concentrate my practice in representing working people in Southern Illinois and Missouri who have been injured at work, in auto accidents, or due to the negligent acts of others.. I treat my clients and my staff with respect and work on each case to obtain the best outcome. If you retain me, you will be hiring me, not a paralegal or junior associate like some larger firms. I will discuss the case with you personally, answer your questions, and personally prosecute your claim.

As the former Regional Counsel for a federal labor union, I have handled hundreds of appeals for the Merit Systems Protection Board throughout the country.  I also provide representation on OWCP claims, which is the federal workers compensation program, as well as the Longshore and Harbor Workers claims.. I also have experience in the following:
