I have been dedicated to serving the injured and disabled for 33 years, ever since I graduated from law school.  This area of law became my passion when, in 1982, many people were cut off from their benefits without notice or due process.

Over the years I have served as the chair of the Social Security section of the Cuyahoga Bar Association, chair of the Social Security section of the Ohio Trial Layers Association, and President of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives. I testified before special Social Security sessions called by the Honorable George Voinovich and Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I have learned so much from these opportunities and have used this knowledge to help my clients. Hopefully, I have given back to the community at large as well.
