Biography
Many years ago, I shifted my practice to strictly personal injury litigation to learn how insurance companies evaluate and defend the claims of injured people. I use this knowledge every day to help my personal injury clients get fair compensation from insurance companies.
Your personal injury case deserves a local lawyer who knows the courts and lawyers in this community. I have devoted my life for over three decades to injured people right here in Pinellas County. There is no experience like local experience. We work closely and personally with each of our personal injury clients. We encourage them to call us whenever they feel the need. Success demands that there be a partnership between client and lawyer.
Pinellas County is home for me and my family - my two children were raised here. I hold an AV Preeminent rating by Martindale Hubble for skill, integrity and experience, as rated by local attorneys and judges. Local consumers have rated me A+ on BBB. Over the years, I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to give back to our community through volunteer service to All Children's Hospital and Lawyers for Literacy tutoring program in the Pinellas County School System.
