Biography

After nearly 20 years of protecting insiders, I started my own practice for the little guy. Employee, labor, individual, and civil rights. Commercial and personal lines policy-holder and bad-faith claims. Professional employment, legal discipline, and malpractice.

I've handled tough cases as both plaintiffs' and defense counsel across the country. I've represented everyone from other attorneys, doctors, nurses, entry-level employees to C-suiters, small family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 companies, and Big Insurance. Now, I help those who need it. Call me if you need a lawyer and have nowhere else to turn.
