The profession of law appealed to me for many reasons, including the virtues of equality, impartiality, and accountability.
After being mentored for the first two-and-one-half years of my career, I was lead to open my own law firm on January 1, 1998. I decided to provide high quality service for two specific legal needs – injury cases and mediations - instead of trying to handle a wide variety of legal matters.
Many of my injury attorney colleagues have "high volume" practices handling over 100 cases at any given time. I decided to run my practice differently. I purposely limit my injury file caseload to 20-30 cases at a time, so that I can know each file intimately and provide each of my clients with the high level of compassion, skill and personal attention that they deserve.

WHAT I DO –
INJURY LAWYER SERVICES FOR INJURY VICTIMS
As a Jacksonville Injury Lawyer, I give my clients individual, personal attention with Christian compassion. Innocent victims quickly learn that injuries not only hurt a person physically, but also financially, emotionally and relationally. Injuries often force victims to miss work, sometimes permanently damaging their ability to perform at their job. Victims are frequently unable to fully enjoy their hobbies and recreation, greatly reducing their quality of life. Sadly, their injuries often burden their loved ones and can forever alter their relationships.
I handle most types of injury claims, except for medical negligence claims against doctors and workers compensation claims. I help victims who have been injured by:
My clients have suffered a wide spectrum of injuries - from broken fingers to catastrophic third-degree burns to death.
The majority of cases involve non-catastrophic injuries, such as herniated disks, injured joints and broken bones. While they may not leave visible scars, these injuries often result in permanent pains and physical limitations. My involvement and representation has helped "even the playing field" between my injury victim client and the insurance adjuster who is trained to dispute injury claims.
An example of a more severe injury case involved an industrial fire, which caused my client to suffer third-degree burns over eighty percent of his body. To this day, he is the most severely injured patient at the regional Burn Unit to have ever survived. My client used the funds we recovered to improve his living arrangements and quality of life.
I have also assisted individuals whose loved ones were killed through the neglect of others. While no recovery can erase such tragic losses, I am glad that my services have helped the survivors face tomorrow and better preserve the memories of the dearly departed.
As a Jacksonville injury lawyer who has assisted hundreds of injury victims, I can explain insurance issues and legal rights, and can help victims protect their livelihood, lifestyle and loved ones.

WHAT I DO –
INJURY LAWYER SERVICES FOR OTHER INJURY LAWYERS
In addition to handling the cases of my own clients, I also provide Trial Counsel or Trial Co-Counsel services to other injury attorneys. The time demands of an injury law practice can be daunting and overwhelming, especially for those who handle a large number of cases. My caseload is purposely smaller, allowing me to be available to assist my colleagues in preparing for, assisting in, or handling the trials of their client's cases.
Candidly, I simply enjoy trial work and would like to do more of it. If you could use an extra set of hands, a second brain to pick, or someone to handle the trial, please contact me to discuss this affordable option. Under most circumstances, my Trial Co-Counsel agreement calls for me to be paid the lesser of: 30% of the total attorneys' fee or 15% of the total attorneys' fee plus an hourly fee calculated at $300 per hour spent on the file.

MEDIATION SERVICES
As a Certified Circuit Civil Mediator, I help bring peaceful resolutions to disputes in a way that is quick, professional and inexpensive. Almost all state and federal judges now require lawsuits to go through Mediation. It is often the last best chance for the parties to control the outcome themselves. The alternative - trusting a jury of six strangers - is usually less appealing.
Many businesses and individuals are wisely seeking the early help of a Mediator before spending unnecessary time and money in a lawsuit. I am pleased to conduct presuit Mediations at a reduced rate.
The Florida Supreme Court's certification process is designed to ensure that Mediators are properly trained and skilled to help bring peace to disputes. Since my certification in the year 2000, I have been referred cases by judges, attorneys, businesses, individuals, the Better Business Bureau, and the State of Florida. I have mediated a wide variety of legal issues, including Personal Injury, Commercial, Probate, Foreclosure, Consumer, Nursing Home, Construction, Insurance, Eminent Domain, Collections, and PIP cases.
