Personal Introduction

After graduating from St. Thomas Law School in 1993, I took the Florida and Federal Bar exams and passed them the first time. It went much better than when I took my New York driving test in 1982, that’s for sure. The “old man” driving instructor had it out for me from the get-go, but that’s a story for another day! As a new attorney, I worked for two small law offices concentrating on handling personal injury and workers’ compensation matters, much like my own firm does today. We only represented individuals and their families. It was very satisfying helping the underdog versus the big bad insurance companies and large corporations. I really felt like we were leveling the playing field. In 2001, I put up a shingle and started my own law shop. Interestingly, I received word that my business was incorporated on Sept. 11, 2001. Although it was an ominous beginning, I’ve never looked back. In fact, I have been proudly representing the “Rocky Balboas” of the world for almost 19 years in the areas of personal injury, workers’ compensation, and now mass torts, including Roundup, hernia mesh, talcum powder, Essure and Zantac cases. Why do I use vanity numbers? Simple! It helps us stand out and be remembered. In life, it’s a good feeling when people don’t forget who you are. It’s also smart business! I always hated after each of my family’s moves to be the “New Kid in Town”, just like the Eagles 1976 hit song, which coincidentally was when my journey began. So, in essence, I have made it one of my goals to make sure people remember me as their attorney4life.
