My role isn’t to be a cheerleader behind closed doors. In our conversations, whether by phone, video, or in person, I will tell you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. That’s because your judgment and decision-making are central to the outcome we achieve together. If all you hear is “yes,” then you’re not getting real guidance; rather, you’re getting empty reassurance. Hollow reassurance feels good for a moment. Honest counsel moves your case forward.

Injury claims are built on evidence, timing, and credibility. If there are gaps in treatment, pre-existing conditions the insurer will point to, or questions that need tightening, then you deserve to hear that now, and not months later when it costs leverage. My job is to identify obstacles early, explain why they matter, and outline the plan to address them. That can mean coordinating with you for clearer medical documentation, preserving additional proof, or adjusting strategy so negotiations happen when the record is ready instead of when an insurer wants them.

You’ll get clear, unvarnished guidance in plain language. I’ll walk through what happened, what hurts, and what your health care providers recommend. I’ll explain how Florida law applies to your situation and what the insurer will likely argue. If something could weaken the claim, then I’ll say so and show you how we’ll fix it. If the case is strong, then I’ll explain what will keep it strong: consistent care, clean documentation, and smart timing. You’ll leave each meeting knowing where we are, what comes next, and why.

You always decide whether to hire me, whether to accept an offer, and whether to go to court. My role is to give you the best information possible so those decisions are informed, not guesswork. If you want a lawyer who simply agrees with every instinct or thought you have without input, then I’m not the right lawyer. If you want a partner who listens, tests the facts, and gives you candid advice aimed at the best outcome, then that’s exactly how I practice and we're a good fit.

Honesty accelerates progress. It helps us prevent avoidable mistakes like settling before your prognosis is clear or giving a recorded statement too early. It keeps the focus on what insurers respect: documented injuries, consistent medical narratives, reliable wage-loss proof, and a cohesive account of how the crash changed your life. When you know the strengths and the friction points, you can make decisions with confidence and we can press for full, fair compensation.

I serve injured neighbors across Venice, North Port, and Englewood. You’ll work directly with me and have my cell number for quick questions, document review, or urgent decisions. Prefer in-person meetings? We’ll schedule them. Prefer text updates between appointments? We’ll do that too. The process should fit your life while you heal.

I work on contingency. If we succeed, my fee is a percentage of the recovery; if we don’t, you owe no attorney’s fee. That alignment keeps our priorities identical from day one, building the strongest case and pursue the best result available.

If you were injured in Venice, North Port, or Englewood and want straight answers from a lawyer who will tell you what you need to hear—and then do the work to back it up—let’s talk. Your consultation is free. You’ll get candid feedback, a practical plan, and direct access to me as we move forward.
