Focusing on Car Wrecks, Motorcycle Accidents and Trucking Collisions in KY & IN.
I'm an attorney who focuses on automobile accidents and motorcycle wrecks. Some of these cases, tragically involve wrongful death claims as a result of the collision and injuries. I've practiced since 1993 and am licensed in both Kentucky and Indiana.
I provide my cell phone because I want people to have direct access to me, rather than having to rely on a paralegal, case manager or secretary, especially when there are important questions you need answered.
While some attorneys try to sell you through catchy slogans, silly commercials and stupid nicknames, my hope is you will choose me as your personal injury lawyer because of customer service. This is why I use my cell phone for all my calls. If you have a legal question, you should be able to discuss it with your personal injury lawyer, right? If not, why did you hire him or her?
I know I have to earn a client’s respect from the first phone call to when we distribute the personal injury settlement. Further, that’s okay! Because through the loyalty of my clients, I’ve been able to build a successful business, that started without any capital, one that has provided for my family since 2005. In other words, my success is because I have earned the loyalty of my clients and I do my best, each and every day, not to take that fact for granted.
Have Questions?
Please look through the website and hopefully it gives you the additional information you are looking for. However, don’t hesitate to call or text or me on my cell phone, 502-609-7657. Whether it is during the weekend or after 5 p.m., I will respond to you personally and let you know whether I can help you or not. In the interim, stay safe and God bless!

Important Information for Kentucky Motorcyclists
This brief video contains important information for Kentucky motorcyclists. If you're in a motorcycle wreck, insurance coverage is a major factor. Don't assume you're covered by PIP (Kentucky no-fault) coverage. You're not. Don't assume the other person's insurance will cover your injuries, medical bills and property damage. They may not carry enough insurance, or possibly none at all. This is why you need Under Insured and UnInsured Motorist Coverage.
Kentucky UM/UIM Coverage
In this podcast episode, Louisville personal injury attorney Jim Desmond discusses UM/UIM Coverage. Uninsured Motorist and/or Under Insured Motorist coverage is generally used for pain and suffering claims and uncompensated medical expenses. Your uninsured motorist coverage and under insured motorist coverage must be in place before the collision occurs. Bodily injury coverage refers to the amount your policy will pay for the other person, not you.
The Secret Sauce to Injury Claims
There are misconceptions about how a personal injury claim is handled and what really matters. In this brief video, I'll explain that yes, there is a secret sauce to injury claims. However, the answer might surprise you. I have over 25 years of experience handling car wrecks and motorcycle accidents. The secret sauce is about the facts of your collision. It doesn't matter what you've heard from friends, family or on TV. I'll explain what I mean in this video.
Understanding an Attorney Contract
In this video I'll explain how my attorney fee works. I use a contingency fee contract. This means there are no upfront costs. I only get paid if I'm successful with your case. This places the risk on me to do my absolute best for my clients who have been injured in car wrecks and motorcycle accidents. It also applies to cases involving wrongful death claims, resulting from the collision.
