He represented a five-year-old boy who was injured in an intersection car accident. The driver of the boy’s car was uninsured, unlicensed, on anti-depressant medication, and had made a left turn in front of oncoming traffic.

Since then, he has gone on to recover over nine figures in settlements and verdicts for his clients. He has been recognized by his peers as a Super Lawyer since 2014 to the present for his tireless energy and commitment to his clients.
