Accountability

At our firm, we believe that accountability improves safety for everyone.  One of the best ways to protect ourselves and our families is to make sure that wrongdoers are held accountable for their actions.  Accountability demands change that results in improved safety in our communities.

Belief in Equality

We believe that each person or family is entitled to fairness and to justice in the legal system. That is why we chose to fight these battles. We chose only a small number of serious cases that we truly believe in. It is our job to level the playing field and hold accountable those responsible for serious injuries.

Respect & Integrity

I am passionate about helping families whose lives have suddenly been altered by a devastating injury or needless death. Respect and integrity are the cornerstones of my practice. I believe that credibility is key both inside and outside of the courtroom.
