I have handled personal injury cases for both plaintiff's and defendants and am experienced in this area of practice.
I handle medical malpractice cases and have represented both doctors accused of malpractice and victims of medical malpractice. My experience and understanding of medicine, the law and complexities in this area, and my dedication to protecting the injured by fighting for quality health care serves my clients well.
I began my legal career as an appellate lawyer under the watchful eyes of one of Tampa's most experienced and well-respected appellate lawyers, Betsy Gallagher. I handle appeals in all areas of civil practice, including tort liability, professional malpractice, insurance coverage, and family law matters. I have handled appeals in the Supreme Court of Florida, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th District Court of Appeal. I have also served as Amicus Curiae counsel.
I handle select family law matters and my experience in complex litigation, my attention to and understanding of the most recent case law in this area, and my ability to reach unique and creative settlements when possible enhance my family law practice.
