I have been handling civil jury trials for 40 years.  The highest level of compliment that I have received over these years has come from clients that express their gratification of the work that I have done on their behalf.  I have a collection of notes and letters from individuals who have gone out of their way to thank me and my staff for a job well done. Those notes and letters remain the highest level of praise for my devotion to clients and in helping them solve their issues and concerns. I truly cherish those compliments.. Whether I am helping someone on the phone solve an issue or doing pro bono work, I sincerely enjoy helping people.  In my practice I come in contact with people from all walks of life.  This includes experts in technical and sophisticated areas of science or medicine. I have represented truck drivers, factory workers, house wives, the unemployed, the disabled, children of all ages, engineers, cab drivers, bike messengers and business executives and professionals.
