Ever since I was a kid I always rooted for the underdog. Just because one side has the power, money and influence doesn’t mean they should get their way. The law is supposed to treat all people equally, however, it often doesn’t unless you have a strong advocate on your side. I represent regular people in cases against insurance companies and thier employers. These are entities with nearly unlimited resources, power and influence. Injured workers often do not know how to navigate a complex insurance bureaucracy that is designed to limit care, costs and compensation so the employer saves money and insurance companies make a profit. People in these scenarios should never go it alone. I fight for regular people who find themselves in difficult if not impossible situations. I have devoted my career to helping the little guy succeed. At my office I tailor a legal strategy for each individual client--there is no one size fits all approach. I fight tirelessly so that my clients receive every benefit and protection available by law. Let ME work for YOU.

After spending 6 years representing insurance companies, I decided that I wanted to start making a real difference in the lives of injured workers.
