Our system of justice, while under grave attack these days, is in fact the best protection for all citizens of this country.

I am the founder of Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger, LLC, where I focus on prosecuting personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and car crash claims for those who have suffered life-altering injuries or the pain of losing a loved one through no fault of their own.  I understand that representing my clients includes more than just filing legal documents, it also requires helping them through what is perhaps the most difficult time of their lives.

I specialize in consumer protection and business to business litigation cases.  I (unfortunately) spent the first decade of my career doing insurance defense work and learning and seeing first hand how insurers and corporate America systematically rip off and cheat the little guy and gal while America's legal system passively allows it to occur.  I've since spent the better part of the last decade of my practice taking what I learned and using that knowledge against those businesses and institutions that harm consumers.
