Clients I Fight For: Homeowners • Contractors • Property owners • Small to mid-size businesses
WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME
Clients come to me when their insurance claim is denied or lowballed, when a contractor refuses to pay or fix defective work, or when a business partner breaches a contract. They want a trial lawyer who climbs roofs, reads blueprints and policies line-by-line, and knows how to win — in settlement or in court.
WHY I ENJOY BEING A LAWYER
The aspect of being a lawyer that I enjoy the most is that I am constantly learning new things. I strive to immerse myself into the legal and factual issues of a particular case to better serve my clients. This means that I often find myself out in the field, investigating a construction project or inspecting a home. I am not afraid to get dirty, and through my representation of various clients, I have been in underground steam tunnels, inside the ductwork of power plants, standing in basements that are backed up with water or worse, walking through mold-contaminated houses, and climbing on more roofs than I can count. I get great satisfaction from preparing and implementing a successful strategy, and my hands-on approach helps me do this. I am competitive, and I like to win.
