My clients know that the most important thing to me is telling their story, whether to a jury or an insurance company, and getting them the justice that is long overdue. My clients and I have cried together, celebrated together, but, most importantly, we have weathered the storm together and emerged stronger for it. I wake up every morning knowing I’m going to fight to put things right for my clients and hold the insurance companies and the powerful accountable. It is a privilege I never take lightly.
Since the very beginning of my career, I have dedicated myself to helping real people. People who have been disabled and been denied the benefits they paid for. People who have been catastrophically injured and have had those who hurt them turn a blind eye to their suffering. People who have lost a loved one that should never have been lost. Too often the difference between justice and injustice for these folks is whether they can find an advocate who has the focus and commitment to fight unconditionally. I have helped secure a five-million-dollar jury verdict in a wrongful death case here in Arizona and have collected millions for my disabled and injured clients and their families. As a trial attorney, I am always ready to take a stand against an insurance company that thinks the promises they have made to their insured don’t have to be kept.
