Call for Dedicated Workers' Comp, Social Security Disability
Since opening my office in 2007 I have worked tirelessly to represent my clients in the fields of personal injury. Financial distress and/or a devastating injury can be incredibly difficult for a person or family to deal with. Insurance companies, banks, and other large establishments often lose sight of people on a personal level and will seek to exploit them in their moments of need. My job, and my passion is to help individuals and families protect their rights, help deal with the problems that they are facing, and guide them through the legal process to ensure that they are treated fairly.
My experience and dedication to my clients has resulted in hundreds of successful bankruptcy filings and personal injury cases. My office is happy to offer free consultations, contingency based personal injury representation (no attorney fee unless we win).
