How I
Add Value:
Defense Insight & Relentless Advocacy.
I’ve sat on the other side and know how carriers price risk. I turn the defense playbook inside-out. I build a trial-ready record, close gaps, and force early decision points toward resolution or verdict.
Team UpAfter years defending large corporations and insured clients, I switched to the plaintiff side. That background gives me true insider knowledge—how cases are valued, what the defense fears, and which pressure points move numbers—and I use it to set the narrative early, anticipate the next move, and build leverage. Known locally as fair but tough, with strong relationships across the bench and both bars, I fight for injured people and build records that hold up in mediation and at trial. Working with you, I carry the heavy workup while you stay as involved as you want.
I’ve worked for major corporate clients on high-stakes matters, including high-profile litigation that demanded meticulous preparation and sharp strategy. On the plaintiff side, I bring the same rigorous, deliberate approach to maximize case value. I work each case with data-driven insights and proven tools to assess risk, value the claim, and set strategy. I build a compelling story with clear demonstratives and visuals, then pressure-test it through mock trials and focus groups to refine direction. Every step is intentional, treating trial as inevitable—an approach that often creates stronger settlement leverage.
I’ve built a deep bench of qualified experts across disciplines and engage those with strong credentials and real-world experience. The team includes seasoned litigation experts and, where it helps, industry professionals who rarely testify but add practical insight. Beyond experts, I maintain a network of medical providers and counselors to ensure clients get the care they need, and I work with experienced investigators and other specialists to develop the record—facts, causation, and damages—end to end. The result is a case that gains value as it’s built and is robust and ready for trial.
Whether you want true co-counsel or a joint-venture with a monitoring role, I match your preference and keep you front-and-center with the client. You and our client get regular updates, clear valuation notes, and concrete next steps—so strategy, risk, and timing are never a mystery. My affiliation with Liles White adds the resources and trial support to handle any scale. I love this work and bring energy to every file, with a simple aim: deliver results that make you—and the client—glad you partnered with me.
I focus on personal injury and wrongful death matters other lawyers overlook or find too difficult—the make-or-break, high-stakes cases with hard-to-prove liability, complex damages, or well-resourced defendants that tend to end up in court. Whether it’s transportation, oil and gas, construction, or complex premises, I build value in files that look weak at first glance. My approach is meticulous: thorough investigation, creative strategy, and expert-driven development to surface facts and pressure points others miss. When a case demands digging deeper and proving what seems impossible, I get it done.
