In 1973, I first began representing injured and disabled claimants while practicing law for the Central Virginia Legal Aid Society in Richmond, Virginia.  In 1978, I became the managing attorney for that agency.

In 1984, I began my own law firm.  I have continued my specialization in the areas of Social Security Disability and Workers' Compensation.  I have been recognized by a survey of 2,000 attorneys in the July 1999 issue of Richmond Magazine as one of the best Workers' Compensation attorneys in the Central Virginia region.  I have lectured on Social Security Disability issues and Workers' Compensation topics before various groups.  I have dedicated myself to providing aggressive legal respresentation to the injured and disabled worker.  In 2003, Martindale-Hubbell awarded me the highest rating of "AV."

In 1998, Rose Fauntelroy joined my firm as a litigation paralegal.  She has now been with me 12 years! She has been a tremendous asset to the firm.  She knows the ins and outs of disability and work-place injuries.

In 2005, 2006 & 2007, the Bar Register of Preeminent Attorneys invited me to be in that publication as a result of my "AV" rating.

I am a member of the American Bar Association, the National Association of Social Security Representatives; a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association; a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Subcommittee on Workers Compensation; a member of the Richmond Bar Association; and I have my own informal City of Richmond Workers Compensation workgroup.

I have practiced in the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission, the Virginia Court of Appeals, the Virginia Supreme Court, the Social Security Appeals Council, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and the United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. 

Since it's founding in 1991, this firm has focused on representing claimants in Virginia Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability Claims.  A Virginia Workers' Compensation Settlement can end all your rights.  Contact us for a free consultation before taking such a step.
