When you retain me as your attorney, the first thing you will notice is that I am a good attentive listener. As your case progresses you will find me to be a determined and persistent advocate on your behalf.. I offer my clients a superior alternative to the big personal injury firms who take on your case, never return your phone calls, settle quickly for a low amount, and then move on to the next case.. In 2015 and 2016, working with Sarah Lawrence, I have recovered personal injury settlements of $200,, $155,, $119,, $83,, $ 50, and more. I secured these settlements using time, training, effort, and intelligence.. Most importantly, however, I reach my results through zealous advocacy. My philosophy for each client is “never leave any money on the table.” However, I am attentive and responsive to my individual clients’ needs.
