I practice in the state of Kansas, in all courts.  I live in Lawrence, Kansas and am a rabid Jayhawk basketball fan.  I have been in practice for 47 years and love what I do.  I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren and am lucky that all 3 grandchildren live in Lawrence.  My oldest son lives in Miami and works as a consultant to lawyers and provides technical support for them when in trial.   My youngest son lives in Lawrence and is a corporate chef.  My daughter is a nanny and professional photographer and lives in Germany. I am past president of the Kansas Associaton for Justice, Kansas chapter of American Board of Trial Advocates, a member of American Association for Justice and am a founding member of Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.  Through appellate decisions I have changed the law making it better for persons who have been injured.  I lecture on tort law to bar associations and law schools.  I have had articles on tort law published in the Journal of the Kansas Associaton for Justice.
