I have been representing individuals, families, and small businesses since I graduated from law school in 1975. I believe that most people get confused by the legal system especially with insurance questions-- the system turns them around, nobody explains anything, and that turns them off. I want them to know their rights--that's why we're called The Know Your Rights People. Access to justice is why I offer free consultations, and take death and injury cases on a contingent fee--which means I don't get paid until I...

I am a full-time criminal lawyer. That means I don't have a personal injury or divorce practice on the side. It takes all my time to know the details of criminal law better than anyone else. I get better results than other attorneys because I work harder and care more. I am the one who travels to the courthouse to track down the DA who won't call me back. I am the one who subpoenas records of government agencies just in case there is helpful evidence. I am the one who meets personally with every one of...

I am a solo practitioner. Since being licensed in 1993 I have handled most types of legal matters, but since 2001 my practice has focused mostly on helping individuals and small businesses file for relief under bankruptcy. Over the past few years I have made good progress in finding options other than bankruptcy, such as defending against debt collection lawsuits, or assisting with credit reporting issues, or fighting back against abusive debt collectors, or suing mortgage companies who are padding the bill and/or using other unfair trade practices. The key to most of these alternatives to bankruptcy is using "fee...

After 35 years of working as a trial lawyer, I am still surprised at how much I still love this job. I get to meet so many different folk, in so many different walks of life, and I am always learning something new and challenging.

Their lives have been turned upside down by a catastrophe that should have been avoided were it not for the carelessness or wrongdoing of others. It's heartbreaking to see what these clients go through....

I first learned about the irrational disability decision making process of the Social Security in the 1980s. My sister was born with Downs Syndrome, an intellectual disability. She worked in a sheltered workshop and earned enough to have a small Social Security payment.My family was stunned when Social Security cut off her benefits because she medically improved. This of course was not true because individuals living with down syndrome don't medically improve. My father battled with social security and got her back on benefits. Later she received a settlement for the money she was owed. This inspired me to enter...
