I joined Wagner McLaughlin in 2001 and rapidly became one of the partners of the practice. While earning my J.D. at Florida State University, I held a staff position with the Florida State Senate and researched legal issues for a Civil Division judge in the Thirteenth Circuit in Hillsborough County. During my last year of law school, I served as a legislative aide for the Florida Legislative Office of the American Association of Retired Persons. By the time I started practicing law in 1999, I had already gained valuable insight into both the judicial system and the rights of individual citizens.
After being admitted to The Florida Bar, I spent two years serving Hillsborough County as an Assistant State Attorney, where I represented the State of Florida as a prosecutor. I served as the lead attorney in over 35 jury trials and more than 200 bench trials. In all, I was responsible for handling successful prosecutions against thousands of criminals.
Thanks to my time with the State Attorney’s office, I have gained more trial experience than most attorneys achieve in a lifetime of practicing law. Since insurance companies are increasingly opting to take claims to trial rather than settle, my trial experience has proven to be invaluable.
At Wagner McLaughlin, I represent clients in a full range of personal injury and wrongful death actions, including maritime, auto accident and legal malpractice claims.
