Since 2011 I have had a personal injury and wrongful death practice representing victims who suffered catastrophic loss due to injuries sustained in auto, truck or motorcycle accidents.

In 2011, I started working on cases with Brian D. Rogers of Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC. I assisted Mr. Rogers in every aspect of case management from client intake to final resolution.

I have secured Letters of Administration and assisted clients when necessary in obtaining Guardianship and or being appointed Conservator for their injured loved ones. I have drafted and filed complaints, handled all aspects of discovery and responses to discovery requests.

Since 2011 to present day in both working on Mr. Rogers’ cases and my own, I have helped to and or secured over 3.3 million dollars in recoveries or settlements for my clients.
