In the Relentless Pursuit of Justice
I am relentless in fighting for justice for my clients that have been injured or killed by the wrongful conduct of others. I have faced off against some of the largest corporations in the country and won. I bring a unique approach to litigation that helps me see solutions where other lawyers see problems. I often take on and turn around legal cases that have often been turned down by other lawyers. Over my career, I’ve found that applying a creative, outside-the-box approach to these complex legal issues makes all the difference for my clients.
My practice is focused on catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation across the country that arises from negligence, gross negligence, defective products, corporate greed, premises liability, malpractice, and toxic torts.
I began my legal career defending companies that were sued for causing injuries. After two years, I saw first-hand the greed and dishonesty of big corporations and insurance companies, and I switched sides to only represent people that were injured and needed a voice.
There was one case in particular that I worked on involving a young boy who died after falling off a slide on a Dairy Queen playground. After handling that case, I knew I couldn’t work for big corporations and insurance companies anymore. I was put on this earth to help people, not harm them. So, far the last 20 years, I have spent my time relentlessly fighting for those without a voice. I handle all types of catastrophic injury and death cases.
I am honored to have been chosen by my peers to receive many awards and accolades, including:

- Q. I lost total vision in my right eye working for an individual at a unofficial fabrication shop.
- A: I am sorry to hear about what happened. Did the company / shop have workers' compensation insurance? When did the incident happen? I would need more information to determine who to sue but I certainly think you should consult an experienced lawyer. I am licensed to practice law in Oklahoma and am available to consult with you if you would like. Thank you.
