Biography
First, I am a child of God. I am a loving husband and father of four. Then, I am a Trial Lawyer. I practice law for one essential purpose: to help those who have been harmed by others, and who have now realized that the system is stacked against them. It is our duty, as attorneys for people, to fight to ensure that individual rights are protected in the face of corporate greed, corruption and lies. We are truth tellers, and we strive for the truth to, inevitably, prevail. If you have been harmed by the acts of another, call me.

Legal Answers
- Q. Do I have a case? I suffered a miscarriage; my healthcare provider refused to provide me with accommodation.
- A: It is unlikely that you have a medical malpractice case. However, you may have an employment discrimination case. I do not do that type of case, but would be happy to refer you to a colleague.
- Q. ConsumerAttyCase? 4 Brand new wheels & tires bought & installed 1hr later had blowout wrecked car sustained back injury
- A: It certainly sounds like you have a valid claim against either Discount Tire, the tire manufacturer, or both. The real question in my mind is whether there were significant injuries from the crash, as these can be expensive cases to pursue.
- Q. Can I sue my former employer for work-related injury and also I was never terminated, just left hanging
- A: You may have a claim against your employer (if they did not carry workers' compensation coverage) as a non-subscriber. Additionally, depending upon the use of the equipment, you may have a products claim against the company that manufactured the trash bucket. Please feel free to contact my office at 512-823-2237. You can speak with me (if I am available), or any one of my staff.
