Attorney Information
Overview
I grew up in a small town. When I lived there, the sign at the outskirts of town read, "Winner All-American City 1963. Home to 6,243 friendly people and six old soreheads."
It seems quaint and inviting now, but at the time, I had to get out. I worked hard in school, and was valedictorian of my graduating class. School wasn't going to pay for itself!
I was lucky enough to get a scholarship to Georgetown University. After that, I attended University of Michigan Law School, where I was on law review.
I was set! I was going to work for a large law firm until I retired.
It turns out I was not set. I tried working at two top ten law firms. While I loved working with brilliant people, and I loved the challenge of solving hard problems, I just couldn't get excited about the problems we were solving.
A light went off when I found long term disability and ERISA litigation. I still get to work with brilliant people (my clients), but now I'm solving problems that get me excited. The solutions we provide not only help individual clients, but they also create precedent for other people seeking to enforce their rights to benefits against insurance companies.
I know I'm lucky. Now I'm set.
