“I’ve always had an interest in helping people ‘level the playing field.’ For many years now, I’ve been helping individuals, families, and businesses try to make the most of trying circumstances. It is a special feeling when you know you’ve made a real difference in a client’s life, whether it is a wrongful death, a traffic collision case, or an investment fraud case. There is much meaning in the work we do.”
