My personal injury practice includes representation of clients injured in all types of motor vehicle and bicycle accidents and accidents that occur on private or public property, and premises liability issues, as well as representing the families of victims in wrongful death cases.
You need an experienced attorney who limits his practice to or specializes in personal injury law to protect your rights and fight for you. I will invest my time, my resources and my abilities into your case. I will even share the risk of success with you. This is my guarantee of commitment to you. In appropriate cases, I will advance the costs for your case. As a result of this, in the event you are unable to afford to do so, you will still be able to pursue your case without initially having to pay any money out of your pocket.
I offer a free initial consultation and review of your case. Weekend appointments are available by special arrangement, and home and hospital visits are also available.
