How I
Add Value:
Defense Insight & Relentless Advocacy.
I’ve sat on the other side and know how companies defend cases. I turn the defense playbook inside out. I build persuasive, trial-ready cases through creative—and at times unorthodox—strategy, sophisticated development, and compelling presentation built for modern juries.
Team UpAfter years defending large corporations and insured clients, I switched to the plaintiff side. That background gives me a clear view of how the other side evaluates cases, where the defenses usually go, and what makes them value a case higher—and I use it to shape the case early, anticipate the next move, and build leverage. I’m direct and prepared, and I work well with good lawyers on both sides. I fight for injured people and build records that perform in mediation and at trial. Working with you, I handle the heavy lift while you stay as involved as you want.
I’ve worked for major corporate clients on high stakes litigation that demanded meticulous preparation and sharp strategy. On the plaintiff side, I bring the same rigorous, deliberate approach to building the record and presenting the case in a way that forces real evaluation. I work each case with data and practical 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 see what lands and what doesn’t. Every step is intentional, because I prepare cases to be tried—an approach that often drives earlier, more serious settlement discussions.
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—from the ground up. The result is a case built on proof, ready for mediation and 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 take the work seriously and stay responsive, 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 rarely resolve without real litigation and trial preparation. 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.
