A lawyer owes a duty to do good in a community because the lawyer occupies a position of trust. A lawyer can’t simply get money from a community by tricking the members with slick advertising. Public service in the community is repayment of the trust bestowed and the duty of every good lawyer.
I am the son of a Air Force Lt. Colonel. My dad was in the service until I was 13 years old. He was a JAG officer for the Air Force for 22 years. He retired in Tallahassee Florida and I became another Florida transplant. After high school, I started in the pre-med program at Florida State University but changed majors and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in psychology. I went to the University of Mississippi (the oldest state law school in the United States) and graduated. There, I participated in the Moot court program (an trial advocacy program) and served as president of the law school student body. I was also a student member of the American inns of Court at Ole Miss.
I returned to Florida where he first started practicing in a personal injury law firm in Pensacola Florida as the sole associate to two experienced attorneys. From there I moved to Tampa, a much larger town with warmer weather After working for some of the mose successful lawyers, I opened my own practice.
In my spare time I ride bicycles off road and on the road play music with friends. I am a passable guitar player and a barely tolerable mandolin, resonator and ukulele player. I aspire to play banjo. I am a former President and former member of the board of directors of the Florida Bicycling Association, member of the Board of Directors of Bike/Walk Tampa Bay. I speak before governmental agencies advocating for bicyclists rights. I am a member of the Reese Smith Litigation American Inns of Court. I speak at bicycling clubs and other civic organizations.
I enjoy helping injured people get back on their feet. I do that by helping them recover what was taken from them by another's negligence.

Brain injuries are hard to spot or understand without training or experience. I have a psychology degree, a biology minor and have been in personal injury law since beginning practice. I'll recognize your brain injury and help you recover.
Injuries in cars and trucks and from cars and trucks hitting pedestrians or human powered vehicles such as bicycles, trikes, tricycles, recumbents, electric and elliptical cycles.
When the worst injury that can happen happens, I represent the family and people left behind. I'll help the recovery and make certain it's a complete recovery.
Many people believe falling as a result of something someone did is not serious. It is absolutely serious. The embarrassment, pain, immediate disability and long term pain is a life changing consequence. These must be pursued for a fair recovery.
Trucks are by far the most dangerous vehicles on the road simply for their sheer size and weight. Drivers have many strict regulations to keep the roads safe, but trucking companies continuously push them to cut safety corners. When that happens, it's time to call me.
