About
In 2010, I began practicing law in Florida, handling insurance matters for a nationwide firm in Miami. I then spent five years as a partner at a civil litigation firm providing statewide service.
By 2019, it was clear I wanted to start my own practice, work one-on-one with my clients, and focus on first-party property claims. I chose Ocala because its central location gives me easy access to major markets across the state.
Most of my statewide business comes from word of mouth. Clients tell me they value the outcome of their case as much as the experience I provide along the way—that is the standard I hold myself to on every matter. I am fortunate and privileged to do this work.
Advocacy Beyond the Courtroom
Botanical Conservation + Environmental Stewardship
For over thirty years, I have dedicated my time outside the courtroom to the conservation of North America’s native botanical species. I have been an active member of the International Carnivorous Plant Society for decades, focusing my efforts on protecting the fragile bogs and seepage slopes of the southeastern United States—a unique habitat disappearing faster than almost any other in our region.
Preserving these delicate environments requires extraordinary patience, long-term advocacy, and persistent attention to detail. That same deep-seated commitment drives my legal practice.
