I am a trial lawyer. This distinction is important because out of 100,000 lawyers in Florida, a very small percentage of lawyers ever accumulate the breadth of experience in front of juries, that I have had the privilege of acquiring. Recently, Martindale Hubbell, an independent peer review ratings entity, anonymously surveyed judges and lawyers who had practiced with me. I received an AV Rating, 4.9 out of 5. Although there are no official statistics, Martindale has indicated there are fewer than 7,000 lawyers with this rating. Growing up, I saw how having too much power could permit abuse by business owners, insurance companies and resourceful individuals. I am proud that since I began my practice, I have represented those less fortunate and in need of someone to champion their cause. This is why my slogan is "Level the playing field"; In each client's case, I bring experience, convictions and aggressiveness. I look forward to speaking with you, to see how I can help.
