My clients are hard-working, self-sufficient people whose lives suddenly got upended by circumstances totally outside of their control. “Generally, the people who come to see me are OK in their lives and are able to live day-to-day until something happens like an auto accident. Suddenly,they don’t have anything coming in, and they have a lot going out because they have medical bills.

Faced with no income and mounting medical expenses, clients often encounter insurance companies unwilling to make them whole again. People who have been injured don’t wrestle with insurance companies on a daily basis, so they’re at a tremendous disadvantage. They are often dealing with seasoned adjusters whose job is to minimize expenditures.

They’re up against insurance companies who are in business to collect premiums and not to pay claims. And because the injured parties don’t know the law, they don’t have any idea of their entitlement under the insurance policies. They’re at a loss.

I enjoy sitting down with clients, listening to their problems and helping them restore their lives. Based on the circumstances of their case, sometimes urge I them to return to work as soon as possible, both for their own sakes and to impress upon a jury their willingness to try.

Sometimes, I help clients understand that they can’t afford the gamble of going to trial if there’s a settlement on the table. In other cases, I recommend proceeding to the courtroom.

As a solo practitioner, I handle each case himself, assisted by a staff that’s been with me for an average of 20 years. This personal attention eases clients’ discomfort in undeniably trying circumstances.

I work to Make sure people get treated fairly.

I help those injured through no fault of their own to secure the money necessary to get their lives back on track.

As someone highly motivated to help others, my goal is to: “Get people what they’re entitled to, rather than beat them out of it,” I've been doing just that since 1979.

I wrote THE SMART CONSUMER'S GUIDE TO YOUR PERSONAL INJURY
CASE to help level the playing field for people who are injured through no fault of their
own.

My mission in life is to make sure people are treated fairly. My first book,
VIRGINIA PERSONAL INJURY FORMS, published by LexisNexis, is a guide for
personal injury lawyers. In THE SMART CONSUMER'S GUIDE TO YOUR PERSONAL
INJURY CASE, I give the public instruction, insights and tips they need to protect
themselves when dealing with insurance companies and insurance adjusters. The
book helps you understand your rights, explains things to watch out for and discusses
in an understandable way both settlement and trial procedures. This book helps level
the playing field for people who are injured through no fault of their own.
