I went to law school at the University of Akron, School of Law and received my law degree with honors in 1993. I am licensed to practice law in all state courts in Ohio and am a member of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the College of American Pathologists.

Why I Practice Law:

I became a lawyer to utilize my 20 years of hospital experience as a Medical Technologist and Laboratory Director in a local hospital. Practicing law allows me to help people on a more personal / individual basis than I could in my previous career.

My Most Memorable Cases:

Although I have handled many large cases, involving serious injury and death, my more memorable cases are those where I was able to get a recovery for the client despite factual circumstances that would appear to prohibit financial recovery. Some of those cases involved:

A man launched from his neighbor's tree while he was using a chainsaw to remove the top of the tree,

A blind man who stepped into a hole dug by his dog while trying to get out of the way of another man backing a trailer into the blind man's driveway,

A professional entertainer who was injured when the trapeze from which she was hanging broke,

A man who was burned on the face and neck by chili that he had obtained from a vending machine,

A woman who was injured when the ceiling collapsed in the bathroom of her apartment, and

A large man who was injured when he fell through the decking on a public boat dock.
