When asked what drives him and what his personal philosophy is on his work, he had this to say:
"After practicing law for over 30 years, I remain as passionate and driven as ever to help people who been damaged, as a result of the careless conduct of another individual or a corporation, acquire justice and get their lives back in order. My philosophy has always been the same… put your clients first and treat them in the same manner that you would treat an injured loving family member…listen to your client; give them specific and straight forward answers and advice; work vigorously on their case and then acquire the maximum settlement or award available that will compensate them for their losses and damages. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that you have made a positive difference to assist someone whose life has been dramatically changed."
