After suffering a work-related injury in September 2007 while working for the largest company in the world, I learned firsthand the difficulties faced by those who are injured at work. And for those like me whose claims are denied, the financial struggle and the burden it places on our friends and family can feel overwhelming.

Providing competent and compassionate legal services for those in need, is my top priority.
