“When a client chooses me to represent them on a personal injury or wrongful death matter, I know that they have placed their trust in me to help them sort through the aftermath of a traumatic event and to seek accountability from the parties that caused them harm. I do not take that trust lightly and pride myself on obtaining meaningful results that move our clients on a path toward recovery.”
