I enjoy helping clients prevent foreclosure and receive maximum protection under the law. Naturally, it's a tough road that leads to a foreclosure situation, so our job is to help them out of the situation in the most painless, but also the most effective and beneficial way possible.

Since my first day of practicing law, I have exclusively represented the injured and wrongful death victims. The first day was now over 3 decades ago. I am still as passionate about being a lawyer for the injured and the wronged as I was back then. I love being their voice to demand the respect, justice and compensation they are rightfully owed. It is particularly special to me to be recognized by my peers with an “AV” ® rating by Martindale-Hubbell.
