Case Results

I don’t share verdicts to impress—I share them to show how I fight.

What follows is a sampling of some of my most recent case results, each reflecting the kind of advocacy I bring to every case: focused, personal, and built on showing up when it counts.

$85,000 – Gas Station Shooting (Security Negligence)

Our client was shot at a gas station located in a known high-crime area. Despite repeated incidents, the property owner failed to implement basic security measures. We brought suit for negligent security and held the owner accountable. Thankfully, our client recovered—and this result reflects our commitment to showing up when it matters. 

$100,000 Recovery for Mishandling of Remains (Funeral Home Misconduct) 

We secured a $100,000 recovery for individuals affected by multiple incidents involving the mishandling of their family members' remains. Through coordinated legal efforts, we delivered justice and accountability for the emotional harm endured.

$100,000 – Wrongful Death (Failure to Seek Timely Medical Help)

A woman died after being given drugs by an acquaintance at his apartment. When she lost consciousness, he failed to call 911—waiting over six hours due to fear of legal consequences. By the time he sought help, it was too late. We pursued a wrongful death claim based on his negligent delay in seeking medical care. 

$100,000 – Bar Assault (Negligent Security)

Our client was brutally attacked inside a bar with no bouncers or security personnel on site. Despite the known risks, the establishment failed to take reasonable steps to protect patrons. We brought a negligent security claim and recovered the full policy limits. 

$155,000 – Slip and Fall at Car Dealership (Premises Liability)

Our client underwent knee surgery after slipping on an oil-slicked surface at a car dealership. The property lacked a designated walkway, forcing her to navigate an unsafe path used for vehicle traffic. We brought a premises liability claim and recovered $155,000 for her injuries and recovery.

$175,000 – Slip and Fall Outside Apartment (Failure to Warn)

Our client slipped on wet paint directly outside her apartment door. The walkway had just been painted, but no warning signs or barriers were in place. We brought a premises liability claim based on the property owner's failure to provide notice of the hazard and secured a favorable resolution.

$180,000 – Arena Assault (Negligent Hiring)

Our client was seriously injured after being attacked by an arena employee during a seat dispute at an NBA game. The incident stemmed from the venue’s failure to properly screen and supervise staff. We brought a negligent hiring claim against the arena and secured a satisfactory resolution.

$200,000 – Psychiatric Misconduct (Professional Negligence)

A vulnerable patient under psychiatric care was sexually groomed and propositioned by her treating psychiatrist. The breach of trust triggered a severe relapse and deepened her depression. We pursued a professional negligence claim and secured a resolution that reflected the gravity of the harm.

$200,000 – Backyard Burn Injury (Negligent Disposal of Hot Coals)

A child suffered severe burns while playing in a neighbor’s backyard during a family barbecue. Someone had discarded hot charcoal directly onto the grass without warning or protection. We pursued a negligence claim based on unsafe disposal and lack of supervision, resulting in a resolution that reflected the seriousness of the injury.

$215,000 – Child Injury from Unstable Glass Table (Premises Liability)

A two-year-old boy suffered serious hand injuries when an unstable glass table toppled onto him. The incident occurred in a residential setting where the table posed an obvious hazard. We pursued a premises liability claim and secured a resolution that reflected the severity of the injury and the child’s vulnerability.

$250,000 – Car Accident (Red Light Violation & Head Injury)

Our client was struck broadside by a driver who ran a red light, resulting in a serious head injury. We pursued a liability claim and recovered the full policy limits, reflecting the severity of the impact and the long-term consequences.

$250,000 – Ingestion Injury at National Restaurant (Product Liability)

While dining at a popular national chain, our client unknowingly swallowed a piece of glass embedded in his food. He began spitting up blood and suffered a gastrointestinal bleed that lasted six weeks. We pursued a product liability claim and secured a resolution that reflected the severity of the injury and the breakdown in food safety protocols.

$300,000 – Slip and Fall at Orlando Theme Park (Recurring Hazard)

Our client fractured her ankle after slipping on a bridge inside a major Orlando theme park. The location had a documented history of prior slip incidents, yet no corrective measures were taken. We pursued a premises liability claim and secured a resolution that reflected both the injury and the park’s failure to address a known hazard.

$400,000 – Estate Recovery Following Attempted Murder and Suicide

We represented a client in a high-profile case involving an attempted murder by her boyfriend, who subsequently took his own life. Through litigation against the estate, we recovered cash, personal assets, and real property—ultimately securing a total recovery exceeding $400,000.
