I represent Plaintiffs for various injuries and various forms of injustice, such as sexual harassment. I have a natural competitive spirit and sense of courtesy and respect for my clients. My goal as an attorney is to make sure every client walks away with a sense of closure and satisfaction in a time when the judicial system has been questioned and is suffering from a lack of financial support.
