OUR MISSION STATEMENTI have lived in South Jersey my entire life and I have litigated personal injury cases for over 30 years. I have litigated everything from car accidents to plane crashes and I am all too familiar with the devastating effects of pain & suffering, lost wages, medical expenses and emotional despair that result from serious personal injuries. However over the last two decades I have watched as a new danger has emerged in our community.I have witnessed far too many members of our families, our friends and our neighbors who have had their lives destroyed by the opioid epidemic. Greed has led hospitals, pharmacists, doctors, drug manufacturers and drug distributors to needlessly ruin the lives of countless souls. Medical professionals have abandoned standards and prescribed indiscriminately for far too long. If you or someone you know has been injured by opioids or suffered other serious injury call and talk to me. I stand ready to hold the responsible accountable!

For over 40 years I have had the privilege of working with people who have been forced to face unexpected change in their lives.  Sometimes the changes are from the tragic effects of personal injuries caused by the carelessness of others.  Other times the changes are caused by the end of a marital relationship.    In each situation, the fear and uncertainty experienced by my client and their family can be overwhelming.. Helping people work through and resolve these life changing events is the most rewarding part of my job.  If you have been seriously injured or are facing the loss of a relationship call my office immediately.  If I am unavailable, please make sure you leave a call back number.  In most instances, I will return your call that day, at the latest, the next morning.
