Personal Injury Practice

Accidents happen every day—on our roads and highways, on the job, at home or during recreational activities. Car accidents, falls, work accidents can all result in devastating injuries or the loss of a loved one. If you have been seriously injured in an accident or lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, you want an experienced lawyer who can negotiate directly with an insurance company and take your case all the way to court. Our firm will fight for your rights and seek maximum damages for your injuries, pain & suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, mental anguish and diminished quality of life. We will investigate your accident, develop a strategy to obtain compensation and work to hold the responsible parties accountable for their negligence.

We’re always available to answer your questions and help you and your families. We’re hear to help you in difficult and trying times and provide the legal services that you need.

When I was growing up, like other boys my age, I wanted to be a fireman, baseball player, farmer or an astronaut. When I got older, I watched my brother attend medical school and thought, "That's interesting!" When I saw his medical textbooks, it didn't look too interesting.

In college I became active in several social action groups, working with senior citizens and becoming active in a Speaker's Bureau. I met a lot of different people, and saw families struggle through difficult times & triumph over their obstacles.

I thought about the things I liked to do: Meet new people, learn new things and help solve problems. Becoming a lawyer seemed to be an ideal profession where I could do all of these things.

I attended New York University (NYU) Law School and found that the law was an exciting place for new ideas and challenging solutions to the issues of the day. When I began practicing law, I discovered that I could help people and make a difference in someone's life. My passion and dedication to practicing law were born!

Practicing law is like solving a jigsaw puzzle: Where are the missing pieces? How do they fit? What will it eventually look like? It's exciting, challenging and fulfilling.

Each day I meet new people and learn new things. I use the law to help people find solutions to their concerns and make an impact on their lives. While I'm not a fireman, baseball player, farmer or astronaut, I'm very proud and happy to be a lawyer!
