Experienced Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Attorney
An arrest is serious business. It can affect your life for days, months, and even years. Furthermore, it may impact those around you such as a spouse, child, or employer. I help clients regain control of their lives and exercise their constitutional rights to the fullest extent possible in courts of law. To create a good defense strategy, you should begin immediately because the State Attorney’s Office is already working on their side of the case. Who is working on yours?
Concerning personal injury cases, I deal with a wide spectrum of fact patterns. When someone first visits my office, they are often still in pain and surrounded by chaos. Their vehicle is destroyed, so how will they get around? Maybe their automobile insurance policy provides a rental vehicle, but maybe not. What about finding the proper medical treatment and doctors? Who specializes in that type of injury? Will health insurance cover any of the costs? I know the answers to these questions. I provide you with the guidance needed during this period of uncertainty. They call me a “legal counselor” for a reason.
