I sustained a brain injury, along with both of my legs being badly broken. After hospitalization, multiple surgeries, and rehabilitation, I was blessed with a 100% full recovery. I then went to law school and was driven to become an attorney who represents accident and personal injury victims.  My personal injury experience before becoming an attorney has provided me with a powerful perspective in truly understanding what my clients and their families are going through and how to best win their cases.”
