My practice is centered on general liability and commercial litigation.

My picture: When I'm not working you will find me in the desert, even in the summer (I just start earlier). Lawyer is what I do, it's not who I am, and if you are looking for a lawyer who has had and has a real life, contact me. I have done hard work my whole life, first helping my dad with house projects and doing a lot of jobs since I was 15 years old, washing dishes and bartending, cutting grass and shoveling snow (I grew up in a small New York town), digging ditches and laying tile, and delivering and sorting mail 2 1/2 years with the USPS. I was even a soccer referee for 9 years so I know what it's like to have players, coaches, and parents from BOTH teams disagree with me. I know what it's like to work hard, I get it. I always learn something new every day. I can't respond to complaints from former clients I don't know after almost 41 years I have found that the best way for you to decide if I'm the right lawyer for you is for us to meet and talk. I work by myself, so no staff to get between us, and you will hear from me by phone or text or e-mail when I represent you. I will do everything I can to get you what the workers' compensation laws say you should get. I can't get you anything more, and a lawyer who says he or she can is not telling the truth - I like to be in court and unlike some lawyers who don't like to be or just aren't that good in a hearing, I will not settle your case just to get it over with and I will take your case as far as we can go with it. I will always tell you my truth about your claim. So, if you like what you know about me from here, call and let's talk about you. The first couple of calls are free, I'm the boss and don't need to ask anyone else about fees, and my job is to make your life better. Thanks
