Law Firm Overview

DEDICATED TO HELPING INJURED PEOPLE IN FLORIDA

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an accident that was caused by an act of carelessness, I encourage you to contact me at (954) 438-1000. I offer:

• Free Consultations
• House Calls Available
• No Fee or Costs until Your Case is Won

I have been providing knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and aggressive representation to injured people and their families for more than 25 years. I have devoted my career as a lawyer to this particular area of the law because I want to see that people are treated fairly and get the compensation they need and deserve. Whether you are involved in a car accident or premises liability case, my goal is to help you get the maximum amount of money to cover lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills, and other costs as soon as possible.

• I am available to assist in all types of motor vehicle accident cases, including trucking accidents and motorcycle accidents.
• I will stand by your side in medical malpractice cases.
• I can seek compensation for you in personal injury or wrongful death cases related to nursing home injuries.
• I am here for you in premises liability and slip and fall cases.
• I can help you in cases involving construction accidents.
• I will represent you in cruise ship and boating accident cases.
• I have the experience to stand up for you in cases involving defective products.

I understand that your financial needs are urgent and may not be able to wait through a long, drawn out court battle. That does not mean you have to accept a small settlement. As your attorney, I will work closely with you with the assistance of my staff to determine your needs. Together, we will develop a plan that is best suited to meeting those needs.

Contact me at (954) 438-1000 to schedule a free initial consultation to find out about your options. I am available to assist clients in personal injury and wrongful death cases in Cooper City, Florida, and the surrounding areas, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Weston.
