"Having been involved in a catastrophic car wreck only a few years ago, I know exactly what's it like to be laid up in a hospital for days, not be able to work or do normal daily activities for months at a time, and stuck wondering how you'll pay for a new car or your medical bills. I know the aggravation and frustration that my clients have because they can't drive, have to go to treatment, or simply hate waking up in the morning b/c they're sore. It's because of this first-hand knowledge that I am able to relate to my clients on a personal level, represent them so well, and get them the results that they deserve.  That is what motivates me to go to work everyday and fight for my clients against big insurance companies designed to take advantage of normal, everyday, hardworking people.".
