Personal Note

I find our work in workers’ compensation to be very dynamic and intellectually engaging. We constantly process new and vast quantities information and distill it to develop coherent litigation action plans. No two days are the same. I enjoy this process and the competitiveness of advocating our clients’ interests.
When not at work, I enjoy watching basketball games, going on adventures with my wife and kid, and hanging out with friends and family.
