I attended The University of Michigan and then returned my home town of Columbus, Ohio to attend the Capital University College of Law.  After graduation, I moved to Florida to start up and run a Florida office for Barkan + Neff, the Ohio law firm where I  clerked while in law school. I handled workers’ comp and personal injury cases, as well as a large volume of hearings and appeals for social security disability claims. I was made a partner, and managed the Central Florida offices until 1990. Next, I became affiliated with the law firm that later became Prugh, Holliday & Deem. I remained with the firm for 14 years, handling a large number of personal injury cases and litigation, and continuing to represent social security disaiblity clients. In August, 2004, I opened my current trial practice, continuing with my dedication to helping injured and disabled clients with respectful and personal service.
