I am a Board Certified Civil Trial attorney. My clients become life long friends. I think is important to treat everyone with respect, kindness and compassion. Nothing makes me happier that to make a positive difference in the lives our client's and their families. When my family came to this country from Cuba in 1962 we only had each other and the desire to work hard and succeed. I know what it is like to lose everything and start from nothing. This experience fuels my desire to help others that have suffered loses and injuries due to someone elses negligence. I am committed to personal and professional growth. I believe that if we are not growing we are dying. Committment to exceptional client service drives us each day. That means returning calls promptly and going the extra mile for our clients.

Do You Want A Lawyer Or A Paper Pusher Handling Your Case?. There are many traps for the unwary with accident and injury cases, and plenty of misleading advertising.  We explain all of the potential problems in simple terms in numerous articles on our website.  You can also avoid them all by calling us.  And, when you call our law firm, you will talk to one of three highly experienced injury & accident lawyers, not a secretary or paralegal.. Many law firms operate settlement mill firms, which means that you get very little lawyer time dedicated to your case.  This leads to lower recovery amounts.  In general, high volume, big advertising firms are not a good choice.  Low volume firms focused on serious injuries are the best choice.  This is because, when lawyers spend time talking to you, and learning about your case, then doing the work of investigating for helpful evidence, then proving your case in court, you win more.  On the flipside, if you hire a settlement mill firm, you will get few questions answered, little work will be done, and your recovery will be lower than it should have been..
