This year’s seminar featured presentations regarding the state of the industry, accident reconstruction experts, orthopedic experts, fraudulent claims, fleet management, jury psychology, and more.

He is committed to making sure his clients are comfortable with the litigation process and emphasizes early resolution of all claims in an efficient, cost-effective manner whenever possible.
