Although I handle more car/truck/motorcycle wrecks than anything else, I particularly like to represent injured cyclists given that I am an avid cyclist myself.  In addition, I have handled several other type of cases including dog-bite cases, mis-filled prescription cases, slip/trip and fall cases, as well as some product and employment liability cases..

He has spent at least half his time on mass torts even before he started working with W.

Since Honza had to go through immigration himself and help his wife through US Immigration, he is highly motivated to try and help clients get on with their lives with less of the unique dread a large impersonal bureaucracy like an MDL proceeding with Plaintiffs’ Management Committees can engender.
