Examples of Cases

I have handled hundreds of litigation matters to jury verdict, judicial decision, settlement or other resolution during my career. Some examples are noted below. Each case is different and the outcome of any case depends upon a variety of factors such as the available insurance coverage.

Indiana Semi-Truck Crash
