He is experienced in assisting clients with all types of injury cases, including serious injuries, wrongful death, and insurance claims.  Over the years his clients have included professional runners, bicyclists, and triathletes including Ironman™ champions.  He has represented top military officers and Olympic athletes from three continents.
