Personal Note

I have been practicing workers’ compensation since being admitted to the bar over 20 years ago. The fact that this area of law allows me to interact with and form relationships with both employers and claims adjusters is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.
In my off time, I enjoy playing tennis and taking my two young Huskies on walks.
