My father has practiced personal injury law for half a century, helping
thousands of individuals.  In 1996, I joined him in his practice after
working for a larger firm for four years.  Many of the clients we
represent cannot afford an attorney, and there is nothing better than
helping a family recover what they have lost, especially if it is from
a large corporation which was clearly in the wrong.Helping
people is what our firm does.  Whether it's recovering money to help
make life easier, getting justice for someone when the criminal system
doesn't work, or simply getting a refund for someone on a vehicle which
is a lemon, I enjoy helping people.  We recently tried a case for a
family whose daughter was tragically killed in an automobile
collision.  The defendant didn't have enough insurance, and the family
wasn't concerned about money.  They simply wanted justice.  They had
lost their daughter forever, and this young man was going to move on
with his life without any form of punishment for his wrongful conduct. 
The family asked us to pursue the case through trial so that at the
very least there would be a judgment on his record.  That's what we
did.  We tried the case to a jury and won.  The family was grateful
that we took on this challenge when other attorneys turned them down
simply because there was not enough money in it.  When we have clients
thank us for helping them, we are rewarded in a way that you really
cannot describe.. PersonalI spend most of my spare time with my wife
and three children.  Much of that time involves little league sports. 
I am an avid jogger, and I attempt to play golf and tennis..

I am a personal injury attorney who enjoys representing people that have been injured in almost any type of incident.  Before I represented injured persons, I previously represented the people/companies doing the injuring.  In other words, I was hired by insurance companies to defend their insureds in personal injury cases.  Thus, I have the distinct advantage and somewhat unique perspective of having previously been a defense lawyer.  I am able to use that experience and perspective to help the people I reprsent now.. 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.. In addition to cycling, I enjoy going on hiking trips with my wife.   Another activity that I enjoy is playing table tennis and I am activily involved in a table tennis league.  Swimming, working - out and reading kind of round out my hobbies.. My 3 children are now all in college so planning trips to see them is fun.  I've thought about getting a dog to have around the house, but not yet ready to make that committment.
