Profile
As a San Francisco Personal Injury Attorney, I represent plaintiffs and plaintiffs only in personal injury, product liability, brain injury, workplace injury, trucking accidents and wrongful death matters throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, California and Texas.
Before beginning my personal injury practice in San Francisco I worked for a large defense firm's trial group. There I defended large corporations in personal injury, trucking accidents, and traumatic brain injury cases. And it is this background and unique experience that enable me to help injury victims in personal injury, product liability, and wrongful death cases.
I am committed to bringing ethical, passionate, and innovative representation to injury victims and consumers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and Texas.
