Biography

As a third generation attorney in Rockford, I have been a part of the Rockford legal community from as far back as I can remember. Both my grandfather and father practiced law in Rockford representing regular people against insurance companies throughout my life. I was drawn to the legal profession, and specifically litigation, because of my family history and shared values, but also because of my belief in protecting the rights of those who are in crisis. I treat each client’s case attentively. I try to always make myself available to discuss concerns that a client may have and to offer any advice I can.

I have practiced Plaintiff’s personal injury law since 2007, when I was sworn in as a new attorney in Illinois. It is my goal every day to represent my clients to the fullest, along with the staff and other attorneys here that have been practicing law for decades. In doing that successfully, I strive to continue to uphold the values espoused by this office, and taught to me by my father and grandfather: hard work, zealous advocacy, and compassion.
