The legal system can be intimidating and confusing. So can insurance. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed and powerless. We can fix that. You’ll leave our first call or meeting knowing your rights and exactly where you stand. My team and I will always make time for you throughout your case, answering your questions and walking you through the process. When you know your rights and have a capable team on your side, you won’t feel powerless anymore.
Strong, Effective Advocacy
I am an experienced trial lawyer, but most clients prefer to reach a fair settlement rather than go to trial. The best way to secure fair compensation is to take a detailed approach to every situation and negotiate from a position of strength. My team and I prioritize moving cases forward quickly and efficiently to minimize delay and disruption to my clients’ lives.

About

You're the focus
It can seem like you don't have the space to speak up and that no one is actually listening when you do. Your legal team should. We know that your legal case is about you and your family. We take the time to listen to you so that we understand how disability or injury has changed your lives and what you need to get back on track and on the road to recovery. Listening to you helps us ensure your voice is heard and that you get the support and compensation you need and deserve.
Prepared to get results
I have devoted my career to handling serious injury, wrongful death and disability claims. It’s all I do. I know from long experience that the way to get excellent client results is to build a strong case and be prepared to fight if necessary. Settlement is usually preferable to going to trial, but my team and I know that the way to obtain a good settlement is to prepare the case from Day 1 as though it is going to trial and not back down until we get results.
Clients say
"Andrew immediately took the stress of my disability claim away. He was forthright, honest and easy to talk to. He made a plan for us. Every step was thoroughly discussed and his team’s communication style put both myself and my husband at ease."
