“I am grateful to be able to do this work, to have won significant jury trials, and obtained substantial settlements for my clients that have made appreciable impacts on their quality of life. I take pride in spending the time, energy, and resources necessary to advocate for my clients because I understand that your case matters. We must always strive to do right and never stand down and allow someone to suffer harm. When human values conflict with corporate values, we must always choose human values.”
