I was born on May 8, 1959. Before attending law school, I ran ski lifts, picked apples, painted houses, taught skiing, and worked as an adolescent and family counselor for a community action agency. I eventually went on to study law, graduating from Vermont Law School, summa cum laude (1st in my class) in 1990.After law school, I served as a law clerk at the Vermont Supreme Court. I entered private practice with a Burlington law firm in 1991, concentrating in professional malpractice cases, personal injury, and general litigation. In 1998, I decided to open my own solo practice, 100% dedicated to helping injured Vermonters, visitors, and their families in serious personal injury and wrongful death cases.. I am board-certified as a Civil Trial Specialist by the the National Board of Trial Advocacy.. In 2006, I was honored to be among 50 trial attorneys from around the United States selected to attend the intensive 22-day Trial Lawyers College, in Wyoming, founded by the legendary trial lawyer, Gerry Spence. In 2010, I served on the Faculty of the College.. Martindale-Hubbell, the oldest and perhaps most highly-recognized independent attorney review and rating service in the United States, has awarded me its highest rating, "AV - Preeminent.". From 2007 through 2014, I have been chosen by my peers to be included as a "Super Lawyer" in New England Super Lawyers Magazine.. From 2010 to 2011, I served as President of the Vermont Association for Justice (VTAJ). I am also a proud member of the American Association for Justice (AAJ), and serve on the Board of Governors of the Association.Many lawyers call themselves "litigators." But to a large degree, "litigation" consists of throwing lots of paper at the other side, but very rarely if ever taking a case to trial. I am proud to be a trial lawyer. I believe that when an attorney is ready and able to take a case to trial, the client is much more likely to get justice.Some personal injury lawyers have high-volume practices, advertising heavily on high-cost radio and TV ad campaigns. Some of these "settlement mills" take on hundreds of new cases each year, hoping to quickly settle as many cases as possible. I do not operate that way. I run a small, client-centered law practice, focusing on the individualized needs of a small number of clients. I advertise minimally, and take on only a few new cases each year. I limit the cases I handle to those involving serious, life-changing personal injuries, such as permanent back and neck injuries, fractures, burns, paralysis, disfigurement, or death.By keeping my overhead and case-volume low, I am able to handle each case personally from start to finish. I never pawn my clients off on a junior associate or paralegal. I work closely with each of my clients, to learn about their lives and to discover and tell the story behind their cases.

A native of Los Angeles, a UC Berkeley and Santa Clara Law graduate, my focus has always been to protect the rights of California consumers who have been the unfortunate victims of the wrongdoing of others. With extreme empathy to the plight of those who are suffering in pain, my goal is to right a wrong, bring a fair and peaceful solution to my client.. As a member of the Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, (Formerly the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers Association), I only represent the injured victim, and always oppose the insurance company which, sadly will always place it's own interests ahead of those who are entitled to fair compensation. It brings me great satisfaction to receive justice for my clients. Fortunately, more than 98% of our cases are resolved by settlement without trial.. Personally, I have been married for 28 years to my beautiful wife, Marci, a Realtor at Keller Williams in Westlake Village, and have two wonderful children, Michael and Brooke.. My passions are in the following order: My family, my clients, and as a licensed pilot, volunteering my time and aircraft to transport the injured, sick or disabled to medical treatment within the Angel Flight West organization.
