I have practiced law in the Kansas City area for over 35 years.  I am licensed in Missouri and Kansas.  In 1969 I graduated from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. In 1972 I graduated "with distinction" from University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Law.  In law school I was research editor of the UMKC Law Review.

During the first 20 years of my legal career I spent most of my time representing employers and workers' compensation insurance carriers in Missouri and Kansas. After doing that for so long, I decided to change directions. I resigned as a workers' compensation defense attorney, and for the last 15 years I have only represented injured people in workers' compensation, medical malpractice and other personal injury claims.

I have seen the workers' compensation system from both sides, and I am quite familiar with it. I served as the Chair of the Workers' Compensation Law and Procedure Committee of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association in the early 1990's, and for five years I planned and was the moderator for the annual Kansas City workers' compensation seminar sponsored by the KCMBA and the UMKC law school.

I am a sole practitioner, which means I am the only attorney in my office. I handle my cases personally, and I believe in returning phone calls promptly.  I fight hard for my clients in every case, and I keep them fully informed about their case and their options.
 
In addition to representing injured workers in Kansas and Missouri, I also represent injured people and their families in medical malpractice and other personal injury claims. I spend about half of my time handling workers' compensation plaintiff's cases and the rest handling medical malpractice and other personal injury plaintiff’s cases.  I do not represent any corporations or insurance companies.

I am a member of the Kansas Association for Justice, the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys and the American Association for Justice.  I am rated "A-V" (5 out of 5, Preeminent) by Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, the highest rating available, and I am listed in Marquis' Who's Who in American Law.
