Welcome. Thank you for considering me. I hope you find this information helpful.  Living with a spinal cord injury and spinal cord surgery has given me a unique perspective on spinal cord cases.  Additionally, I have spent a lot of time researching and litigating brain injury cases.  I also have considerable experience with herniated disc, vertebral fracture, facet joint and failed back surgery cases.  

I have experience in putting together all aspects of automotive roof crush cases.  I have personal knowledge of many of the key documents from the manufacturers.  I understand the concept of occupant space protection, commonly referred to as the survival zone, and that no one should ever die or be injured from roof crush.  I commonly refer to NASCAR where a vehicle may flip several times and land on its roof and there's no roof crush and the driver steps out uninjured.  With this knowledge, roof crush injuries are unacceptable.  

I have been involved in prosecuting several seven figure cases, including one I worked up from scratch by myself and settled for over five million.  Additionally, I've handled cases that involved spending hundreds of hours in prep due to the complex nature of the issues and the thousands of pages of discovery produced.  Besides trial work, I have had success in the appellate court.  

I'm a member of many groups that provide me with cutting edge information about trial practice and the areas of law and medicine I routinely use.  

Recently I was nominated and accepted into The ATLA, a group comprised of the top 100 trial lawyers from each state.  This is an invitation only organization and it was with great pride that I accepted.

I am a member of the million dollar advocates and multimillion dollar advocates organizations.  

I am a member of the Amicus committee of the Illinois Trial Lawyers.  This committee submits briefs on issues of importance to the Illinois Supreme Court.  

Also, like all good lawyers, I use a mac.  You should too.
