Representative clients:

[Please see specific experience below]

Personal Injury
Whether you have serious and tragic, life-destroying injuries or intangible business losses, I have recovered money for all such claims by trial or successful settlement mediation.

Criminal (Felonies & Misdemeanors)
Most people need to get in and out of the court system as fast as possible. Some require full-bore, long-term battle. My clients successfully get the one they select, plus my experience in advising them in making the decision.

Administrative Law, including Executive Clemency.
I have close acquaintance with state agencies, gained as a hearing officer and contract attorney, as well as during my tenure with the Office of Attorney General.

Insurance
The rights and obligations of insurance companies are complex. If you have a problem involving one, I can help you.

Specific experience:

28 years' trial experience: fighting hard for clients' rights and recovering damages approaching one million dollars, keeping thousands out of jail, and convincing judges to change the law when necessary for clients to prevail.

As a prosecutor and state attorney general I learned how the other side works.

I personally handle each case my firm accepts. I return phone calls promptly. It's the personal attention that makes the difference and adds the value you should expect from any professional service.
