I graduated from Hofstra University, New York in 1983 with a degree in accounting. I went to work for an international accounting firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the booming oil days of the 1980s. I later enrolled at Tulsa University Law School and graduated in 1988.

I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and started work with a large insurance defense firm. After a couple of years I ventured out on my own representing plaintiffs in personal injury cases. Very soon afterwards I developed a specific interest in representing victims of traumatic brain injury and spine injury.

I successfully handled many cases involving amounts exceeding a million and several million dollars. I learned about the special suffering traumatic brain injury brings to its victims. And not only the victims but the families as well.

I have served on various Brain Injury Associations and as Board Member of the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice. I have been invited numerous times to lecture and present to groups of doctors, lawyers, rehabilitation providers and others around the country on topics relating to brain injury.

I am also active in the American Association of Justice Motorcycle, Motor Vehicle, Premises, Inadequate Security, and Trucking Litigation Groups. I participate with the North American Brain Injury Society and Brain Injury Association of America on planning committees and conferences.

I started the Brain and Spine Injury Law Blog several years ago to address topics relating to science, medicine and law. I began a podcast in 2010 to compliment the blog. I hope that the blog and podcast will be interesting and useful to readers.
