A Record of Success

My goal for each client is to obtain the best possible outcome and to make sure clients understand what is occurring every step of the way. Results matter. I’ve successfully negotiated hundreds of cases and successfully tried and won "no-winners". My clients have included doctors, attorneys, engineers, pilots, housewives, and professionals from many sectors, as well as homeless, poor, and down-on-their-luck individuals. Each client receives the same professional representation.

Recent Cases

The chart below outlines some recent successes. No attorney can win every case, so individual results vary due to many factors. These cases should not be taken as a guarantee of what I could do for you, but only as evidence of my successful resolution of some very difficult matters for clients. I work hard for each of my clients and I believe my record of success speaks for itself.
