My father has practiced personal injury law for half a century, helping thousands of individuals.  In 1996, I joined him in his practice after working for a larger firm for four years.  Many of the clients we represent cannot afford an attorney, and there is nothing better than helping a family recover what they have lost, especially if it is from a large corporation which was clearly in the wrong.

Helping people is what our firm does.  Whether it's recovering money to help make life easier, getting justice for someone when the criminal system doesn't work, or simply getting a refund for someone on a vehicle which is a lemon, I enjoy helping people.  We recently tried a case for a family whose daughter was tragically killed in an automobile collision.  The defendant didn't have enough insurance, and the family wasn't concerned about money.  They simply wanted justice.  They had lost their daughter forever, and this young man was going to move on with his life without any form of punishment for his wrongful conduct.  The family asked us to pursue the case through trial so that at the very least there would be a judgment on his record.  That's what we did.  We tried the case to a jury and won.  The family was grateful that we took on this challenge when other attorneys turned them down simply because there was not enough money in it.  When we have clients thank us for helping them, we are rewarded in a way that you really cannot describe.

Personal
I spend most of my spare time with my wife and three children.  Much of that time involves little league sports.  I am an avid jogger, and I attempt to play golf and tennis.
