I have specialized my practice to focus on pursuing the rights of those injured in the course of their jobs, through the negligence of others, and through the failure of large corporations to put the health of customers first. Communication is the key...when I take a case, I am your attorney.  Not an associate.  Not a secretary.  Not an assistant.  You get my cell phone number the first day we meet and I am available to you at all times.  This is the advantage of a smaller firm...you get the personal attention that your case deserves.. I live and work in the Northwest Chicago suburbs, so I spend most of my non-working hours with my wife and our young daughter. But I do always try to keep some time open to catch a Cubs or Blackhawks game!

I also try to go on one or two bike trips with my buddies each year, usually where there are mountains to climb.

I came to the United States at 11 years old. My mother won a Diversity Lottery in 1995 and migrated to the U.S. alone. My father and I later joined her. The journey of having our family reunited was difficult, but my mother navigated the interactive law and policies of immigration law to bring us together.
