I have tried over 100 cases to verdict in many different practice areas including medical and professional malpractice, legal malpractice, labor law/personal injury, product liability, construction, auto/trucking liability and premises liability to name a few. I am determined to vigorously defend or prosecute each and every case I have to achieve the very best result for my clients.
