I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. At seventeen, I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to attend college in Buffalo, New York. After making great friends and realizing how much I enjoyed life here, like so many before me, I emigrated from Ireland to begin a new adventure in this land of opportunity. I'm very proud to be a citizen of Ireland and the United States, two countries I love.
Since law school, I have worked almost exclusively for injured people and their families. When you're on the outside looking in, it can be challenging to appreciate how much is at stake for someone who loses their career due to injury. I've been helping injured people for almost 30 years, and I genuinely grasp just how much stress comes with that situation. As often occurs, when this worry comes with the torment of continual pain, one may find oneself beyond frustrated and overwhelmed. I am honored when someone whose life has been upended by a severe injury and all the uncertainty that brings places their trust in me to protect their future. Nothing is more fulfilling than providing a service that results in my client's financial future being secured. I am so fortunate to work in a profession I love. A career that allows me to work to positively impact my client's quality of life and security for their families. As a husband and proud father of a daughter and two sons, I know just how important that is.
When a client hires me, my main goals include removing the burden and stress of legal worries so my client can concentrate on healing. Ultimately, I want to secure the best outcomes so my client can have a future without worrying about financial uncertainty.
