One of the biggest impediments to justice in our society is misinformation about lawsuits. Too many people don’t know their legal rights. They are fed misinformation, half-truths, and even lies by insurance companies, big business, and the municipalities which seek to escape their own liability. Over the years, our office has provided, and will continue to provide, “equal time” to injured parties to advise them of their true legal rights in order to level the playing field. I give you my commitment that I will handle your case in a professional manner without looking at the clock. Your case will get my attention be it early in the morning, late at night, or on weekends. Even if you are not injured but have a question, you can call me.
