As a Jacksonville native, nothing gives me greater satisfaction than fighting for the residents of North Florida.  After graduating from Washington & Lee University School of Law, I returned to Jacksonville and worked as in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 insurance company, a regional insurance defense firm, and a local boutique litigation firm.  As a former insurance defense attorney, I have unique insight into how insurance companies and major corporations value and defend cases.  I use this knowledge not only in negotiations with insurance companies and self-insured corporations, but also in preparing my clients for what they can expect throughout the pendency of a case.  I value my clients' input, and strive to provide excellent personal service in addition to aggressive representation.
