Biography

I am an attorney, author, and advocate. For the past 30 years, I have dedicated my practice to the representation of injury victims and their families. My clients have ranged in age from infants to one client who was 106 years old. Throughout the State of Florida, I have represented clients and guided them through the challenges of an injury case. From intake through conclusion, I am there for my clients. My firm's motto is On Your Side - At Your Side. This is a simple and powerful motto that puts the client first. I am the author of twelve books focusing on injury matters.

I have been interviewed by local and national media including Time Magazine. Of course, the most rewarding part of my practice is making a difference for the injury victims and their victims. Again, the focus in On Your Side - At Your Side. My blogs have a wide variety of information regarding injury cases as well as safety tips. There are over 4,000 articles posted of original articles and content. As an advocate, I firmly believe in the rights of individuals and the responsibility of others to honor those rights. For instance, drivers should slow down in school zones. Day care providers should put down the mobile phones and concentrate on the supervision and safety of children. In the 4,000 articles posted and the four books written in the area of child injury / child safety, there are thousands of safety tips and reminders. If followed, many accidents, incidents, and tragedies can certainly be prevented.

As the author of 12 book that focus on personal injury and safety matters, I distribute these books on a daily basis at no charge to provide clients, prospective clients, attorneys (yes other attorneys), and others with valuable information as to laws on point and best practices when dealing with the injuries and aftermath of an accident or incident.

Legal Answers
Q. I was an injured passenger in an accident where the other driver was drunk. Our lawyer says we must join our case. Why?
A: The situation as you outlined may be the outcome. From a practical standpoint, the recovery on a case is typically limited to the insurance proceeds. You should sit down with your attorney to discuss your legal rights as well as the best practical approach to proceed forward with the case. You may also want to discuss the matter with another local attorney to get a second opinion.
Q. How long does it take attorneys to write up settlement release forms?
A: Once a case is settled, it may take several weeks to even a few months to get all of the paperwork signed and the bills / liens resolved. If there are no medical bills and there are no medical or other liens, the process can go a bit quicker. Also, the insurance company typically sends over the Release to the attorney. At times, the Release needs to be modified as there may be terms in the Release that were not agreed to at the time of the settlement. Have a phone conference with the attorney OR send an e-mail and ask for the approximate time line for the completion of the case and the disbursement of the funds.
Q. I am from TN, work in NY and had a car accident in NJ. Where do I find an Attorney, NY/NJ or TN?
A: Your primary attorney should be in New Jersey. Your primary attorney may want to reach out to an attorney in one of the other states to get recommendations for medical providers.
