I attended and received a Law Degree from Stetson University, College of Law, a Master of Business Administration from Stetson University School of Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from The University of South Florida.I began my career as an associate attorney representing insurance carriers and employers in the area of Workers’ Compensation and insurance carriers in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) defense. I also represented the Florida Department of Children and Families (the Department) while working for the Florida Attorney General, office of Children’s Legal Services. I represented the Department in all aspects of removing children from situations in which they were abandoned, abused or neglected. I served in the United States Army until being medically retired in 1999 and began representing veterans, free of charge. During this time I was employed by the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and handled hundreds of cases for veterans in need of assistance with their Veterans Administration claim for compensation, pension or educational benefits. I currently represent clients in the following areas of law: Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury, Social Security and Veterans Administration benefits representation.
