My journey to becoming a personal injury attorney began at a crossroads.

I was torn between becoming a programmer and going to law school.

My wife highly favored the latter, and since I have always been interested in law, I chose that path. I am often reminded of my childhood love of the game Monopoly when it comes to learning the details and subtleties of the law. As a kid, I memorized all the rules of Monopoly and cited them when it was to my benefit. Knowing all the rules and making them work for my clients is something I still enjoy today.

I have helped those who have suffered from personal injuries since 1994 when I was admitted to the Florida State Bar. Having practiced in various other areas of the law, I am happy to discuss any legal question you may have.

"My whole life I have fought against people who take advantage of others. I seek fairness in everything I do."

Finding My Niche in Personal Injury

Before starting my own practice, I worked at a small firm that handled mostly personal injury cases and criminal defense. I enjoyed it, and my next job was at a large Orlando firm where I focused only on personal injury cases. I spent a month short of 12 years there before moving on to create my own practice.

There are certain ideas that guide my practice and what I do. For example, about ten years ago I discovered Rotary. Their fundamental approach is guided by a Four Way Test that I found is highly aligned with my approach to life. Most importantly it is seeking to be fair in everything to everyone. My grandmother always made sure everything was fair. That stuck with me, and my whole life I have fought against people who take advantage of others. I seek fairness in everything I do.

I believe you should be in law to help your client. My goal is two-fold: to always do what's best for my client, and to provide for my family.

My Top Three Strengths

  • Being adept at thinking on my feet and countering new opposing arguments;
  • Being passionate about the welfare of my clients;
  • Enjoying what I do.
I love what I do, and I will keep doing it. I will strive to provide you with quality and aggressive legal representation and bring you the result you are looking for. I recognize that each person may have a different desired result. In the many years that I've practiced since being admitted to practice in 1994, I've found that clients want to get the maximum dollar amount for their cases as quickly as possible. I understand that every personal injury case is different, and I will see yours through to the end. I am here to help you build the right strategy and pursue the best outcome for your case.

If you or someone you know has been injured, please give me a call. I'm happy to speak with you personally about how I can help you with a personal injury claim and fight for the compensation you deserve.
