In what has now become a lengthy career my practice has been one in which I have represented individuals  involved in legal matters in which the opposition is large, well funded and well represented.  Most of my cases have involved personal injury cases in which the true opposition is an insurance company who has the means to fight long and hard to defeat or minimize a claim.  My goal has been the opposite, to grind it out and fight just as long and hard to obtain a fair resolution based on the law and the facts.  In conjuction with the law firm of Abes Baumann, P. C., we offer a full service injury law firm that handles auto, truck and motorcycle accidents, fall down cases, workers compensation, social security disability, and veterans claims..

In time away from the office, I enjoy camping, hiking and trying to learn to play the banjo.
