I have been engaged in the private practice of law in Phoenix for over 20 years, protecting the interests of injured persons. I am a graduate of Hunter College in New York (B.A.) after which I attended law school at Seton Hall University (Newark, NJ) and the University of San Francisco, receiving the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1976. I first practiced law in New Mexico and have been engaged in the private practice of law in Phoenix since 1987.
I have been representing people injured or victimized in accidents or other wrongdoing - including cases caused by careless drivers and drunk drivers and drug users, dog bites, by sexual molestations and attacks, by insurance companies. These cases are handled on a contingent fee basis, meaning that no fee is due, unless I make a recovery on your behalf. Any case which results in settlement, without the need to file a lawsuit, is discounted to a 25% fee of the amount recovered.
I am well aware of the hardships people suffer when they become accident and abuse victims. They endure pain and suffering, they incur large medical bills, their vehicle is destroyed or damaged, they suddenly lose income, they endure pain and suffering, and their family life is disturbed, and for many, they suffer permanently from disfigurement caused by scarring or burning or are disabled. And sometimes, to cap it off, their insurance company or someone else’s insurance company tries to deny them just compensation. These people require justice.
Being cost conscious is uppermost in clients’ minds nowadays. It is for this reason that I offer a discounted fee in many cases. For good and sound reasons, cases need to be settled quickly and when settlement occurs before a lawsuit is filed the attorney’s contingent fee should be discounted, so that the victimized, injured person can put his or her life back together. For this reason, all attorney's contingent fees are reduced to 25% - a significant reduction over existing fees in the Phoenix area - if settlement happens before a lawsuit is filed.
If you have been injured by someone else, whether or not the wrongdoer or criminal has been charged with a criminal offense, you should call without delay or use the interactive features provided with this website, as time is truly of the essence. Remember, the wrongdoer and his/her insurance company will immediately start to work to deny or "cut back" your compensation. Do not let your delay cause you to lose valuable damages.
