Social Security disability is what I specialize in, so you will get 100% focus and experience on your disability or overpayment claim. I mainly handle the entire states of OR, WA, AK and AZ, but also any other U.S. state or territory. My practice is just me, not a large firm with a different "expert" working there each month, so you will always get me on the phone, and we will work together the entire way. I believe in accessibility and communication, and maximizing our chances for success by eliminating the middle-man.. Since 2009, I have been practicing exclusively in this field because of how much I enjoy it. The diversity of people and cases I get to work with is rewarding, and it teaches me something new every day.. After 5 years in the US Navy on active duty, I completed college at Portland State University, and then graduated law school from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR, in 2009. I am married and have 4 children and a cool dog, and when I'm not working, I'm spending time with my family, working in the shop, recreating outdoors, and finding new places to explore.. I look forward to working with YOU next!
