Biography

I provide effective and aggressive representation for you and your loved ones. My reputation and history of successful litigation spans three decades, focusing on Subsequent Injury Trust Fund (SIBTF) and workers' compensation.

As an Orange County workers' compensation lawyer, I have worked on cases that involve catastrophic injuries as well as smaller injuries, and every case I take is of equal importance.

I am extremely knowledgeable about the laws pertaining to workers' compensation, and my team works closely with my clients. We are fully committed to exceeding client expectations, and we frequently reach settlements that are favorable to my clients before going to court.

With over 35 years of legal experience and a Harvard Law Degree, I am a dedicated, tenacious, and creative attorney. I believe in pouring myself into everything I do and am committed to improving and maximizing my skills so that I can serve my clients to the best of my abilities.

Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to perfect my skills inside and outside of the courtroom. In my private practice I currently focus on representing injured individuals and their families in personal injury and workers' compensation cases.

Outside of the office I am, first and foremost, a family man — a dedicated husband and father. I enjoy traveling and interacting with people who share my interests and values. I am intellectually curious, love books, and am especially interested in foreign languages and the science of linguistics.
