I have been practicing worker’s compensation and personal injury law in the State of Florida for over 20 years. I am “AV” rated by Martindale Hubble’s peer rating system, the highest rating achievable for both legal abilities and ethics. For more than 15 years, I have been vigorously pursuing my clients’ rights to money damages in cases where personal injury or death has been the result of injuries in the workplace, carelessness, negligence, product liability, medical malpractice or the violation of other legal rights.. I spent the first few years of my career primarily defending product manufacturers, airlines and airplane manufacturers in high exposure personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. That experience provided invaluable insight into how the insurance industry viewed, analyzed and resolved personal injury and wrongful death cases, product liability cases and medical malpractice cases. During those early years of practice, I decided my abilities would be best served fighting for the rights of those injured, or the families of those who had died, as a result of workplace injuries, defective products, careless healthcare or other neglect or abuse. Since 1996 I have devoted 100% of my practice to the representation of plaintiffs in cases of injury or death caused by workplace accidents, neglect, abuse, medical malpractice, product liability or the violation of other legal rights.

I am passionately committed to working with families in crisis, and work very hard to quickly achieve the best possible results in each case. I recognize that it can be quite difficult for people to get along, and believe that it is better to be FROM a broken home, than to be IN one.  It's also better to be alone than to be with the wrong person.. I have my own private practice, which has always focused exclusively on family matters. It's so important not to mess around with someone else's family, so I spend my time trying to be the best family lawyer I can be.  I love working with families through very difficult and emotional situations. If I can make a difference to better a person's life, then I feel I am successful.. Before private practice, I served as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Florida in the Child Support Enforcement Division. I represented the Department of Revenue on issues of paternity and child support, whether establishment, modification or enforcement, intrastate and interstate. There were also a few international cases in my division. I handled approximately 6,000 files at any given time, and had my hands on at least 200 case files a week. I spent most of my time in court, and it was rare for me to be in the office.. I am currently a member in good standing of the Florida Bar, with past membership in the Florida Trial Lawyers Association, Marrital Lawyers Association and Broward Bar Association.. I received my law degree from St. Thomas University School of Law. My undergraduate work was completed at the University of Miami, with a double major in Political Science and Broadcast Journalism.. I raise Border Collies - sheep dogs - they are my children.  I love the beach, movies, music, travel and football.  I also believe there is nothing better in this world than sitting at a table with friends and family, having good food, great conversations and LOTS of laughs!
