For the last 29 years, my team and I have successfully represented individuals and families in Pennsylvania who have suffered serious injury or death as a result of accident, injury, and other people’s negligence or recklessness. Many of our clients are referred by other lawyers and prior clients. I understand how devastating and overwhelming it can be to deal with mounting costs and suffering caused by being seriously hurt. If your case is chosen to move forward, we put in all of the time and money that is required to maximize the ultimate recovery for the injury suffered and believe that over the years our results are unsurpassed. 

Every case requires the plaintiff (you) to prove both liability and damages. Each case has its own set of associated costs, including pain and suffering, lost wages, the cost of care and many other monetary costs and these must be clearly demonstrated. As one of the most experienced trial lawyers in Erie, I will document and preserve any evidence necessary to prove your case and meticulously prepare your case for trial. None of this will cost you one penny unless we get money for you. 

Just a few of the cases I've personally represented over the years include:

• Malpractice trial against local physician - Trial Jury Verdict: $300,
