I am a Chicago native who grew up with a machinist father and a stay at home mother. I value hard work, integrity, getting your hands dirty, and a firm handshake. Growing up, my parents pushed me to be an attorney, and now, I push myself to represent my clients as effectively and fairly as possible. I understand that circumstances which would require you to hire an attorney are never easy times in life, but I try to make the process as pain free, transparent, and efficient as possible. Having been in two motorcycle accidents myself, and having an attorney who made me feel like my case did not matter, I now realize and value the importance of helping people in their time of need to the best of my ability. I promise your case will matter to me, and I will approach it with the utmost respect and fervor. Clients are simply numbers to way too many attorneys. This is not how I practice. Allow me to represent you, and I will show you what big city law mixed with small town work ethic can accomplish.
