Biography

I am a board-certified trial lawyer practicing for over 25 years. As a board-certified civil trial lawyer I have the experience and the expertise to handle your case from start to finish, up to and including trial, in any type of civil action where one is suing, or being sued, for money damages and/or injunctive relief. Such actions include but are not limited to business disputes; car accidents; denials of insurance coverage; claims against someoneâs will or trust; and civil rights actions. Just 1% of Florida's 95,000 lawyers are board-certified in civil trial law. With this many lawyers practicing in the State of Florida, serious consideration should be made to hiring one who is board-certified. While any lawyer can advertise on television, on the Internet, or on a billboard, not all lawyers are board-certified.
