My practice is about helping individuals and small businesses seek justice and compensation in the courts. I am board certified in civil trial law by the Florida Bar.  I have extensive experience litigating cases involving professional malpractice, personal injuries, insurance disputes, real estate disputes, and business disputes.  Cases that I have tried in court before juries include wrongful death claims, medical malpractice, automobile injuries, brain injuries to children, delay in diagnosis of cancer, and orthopeadic injuries.  I have represented clients seeking compensation, and I have also defended clients who are being sued.  My experience in representing clients on both sides of a case gives me a deeper understanding of how to achieve the best outcome for my clients, whether it be a favorable settlemnent, or a victory in the courtroom.  I received my legal education from the University of Florida School of Law, where I graduated with honors in 1986.  Following graduation, I worked as an assistant to a judge in the Fifth Diistrict Court of Appeals, which decides all appeals for the Central Florida area.  Afterwards,  I worked with several large lawfirms, until I started my own law firm in 2006.  I enjoy practicing as a small firm so that I can provide direct and personal service to my clients. I  believe that being someone's lawyer is a special relationship based on trust.  I truely enjoy using my skills, knowledge, and expertise to help my clients resolve what may be the most serious problem that they will ever have.
