Litigation
 My
firm represents and advises clients who are or might become involved
in a lawsuit in state or federal courts as a result of a dispute,
including prevention and settlement, in such areas as personal injury,
real property issues, or insurance disputes.
Plaintiff Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
I represent individuals and the families
of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as a result
of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. I understand how
insurance companies and lawyers on the other side think. Insurance
companies are interested in minimizing their economic exposure when
a serious injury or death has occurred. They hire attorneys whose
job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of your claim. I
know their tactics. My firm takes each case on as if it will proceed
to trial and we are not afraid to take a case all the way to jury
verdict if that is what is necessary to produce the best possible
result. My firm represents individuals injured in all types of situations
including industrial, construction, and equipment-related accidents.
Federal Tort Claims
My firm has experience representing individuals
in claims against federal hospitals and providing counsel to injured
workers, such as railroad employees, under the federal tort claims
acts.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Serious car and other motor vehicle accidents
require the guidance of an experienced attorney. My firm has an
impressive track record representing people who have suffered significant
injuries in motor vehicle accidents (commercial and personal). I
work with physicians and other health care providers to assess and
review all the short and long-term medical aspects of your case.
I also have a detailed understanding of Florida's automobile, insurance
and liability laws and know the different sources of recovery available
to car accident victims and their families as well as the various
theories of liability that enable those victims to collect from
the parties who caused them harm.
Premises Liability
Premises liability is a rather vague term
which serves as a catchall for many types of events including those
involving structural design flaws, unsafe conditions, environmental
hazards, improper traffic patterns and a wide range of other issues
unrelated to security per se. In many cases, security related premises
liability matters involve issues such as physical security standards
and generally accepted security practices. In addition to any existing
standards, crime statistics, event history, community standards,
and specific risk considerations play a part in determining whether
an adverse event was foreseeable.
Real Estate Transactions and Real Property Litigation
My firm performs real estate transactional
work for a number of mortgage lenders, title companies, builders,
real estate brokers, and private individuals. I assist with the
purchase and sale of real estate, including negotiating and drafting
purchase agreements and other documents, ensuring good title, and
closings. I also assist our clients with the legal aspects of financing,
re-financing, and foreclosures.
Insurance Law
My firm is experienced in dealing with commercial
insurance matters and I am available to assist clients in interpreting
insurance provisions and resolving or litigating any disputes that
might arise over the construction of insurance documents and policies.
