I used to defend insurance companies. Now I fight them, for Town 'n' Country.
Town ‘n’ Country sits between the airport, the Veterans Expressway, and Hillsborough Avenue. Hillsborough Avenue, Memorial Highway, Waters Avenue, and Hanley Road carry heavy traffic all day, including delivery trucks and people on foot.
My office is on North Dale Mabry, a short drive away. I handle car, truck, and pedestrian crashes, falls, and claims against uninsured drivers across Town ‘n’ Country. When you hire me, you get me. Not a case manager. Not a call center.

The things people ask first.
You can recover if you are 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your share. Fla. Stat. § 768.81
In a car crash, your own PIP pays first: up to $10,000 if a doctor finds an emergency medical condition. Fla. Stat. § 627.736
I’ve defended every one of these case types. Here’s what that means for you.
Rear end and intersection crashes on Hillsborough Avenue and Memorial Highway. Property damage handled at no charge.
Warehouses and the airport bring commercial traffic. I lock down driver logs and dash cam video before they disappear.
Wide roads, fast traffic, and long gaps between crosswalks. I find every policy that applies.
When the driver who hit you has little or no coverage, your own UM is usually the answer. I make sure it pays.
When a crime was foreseeable, the property owner can be responsible. I find the prior incidents that prove it.
Florida makes you prove the business knew about the hazard. I know what records prove it.
I move fast on evidence. Businesses along Hillsborough Avenue have cameras. That footage gets recorded over in days. I send preservation letters right away.
I find every policy. The at fault driver’s policy is the start. I look for employer, commercial, and umbrella coverage, plus your own UM.
I’m ready for trial. I tried 20 jury trials as a prosecutor and have handled 500+ litigated cases. I prepare every case like it’s going in front of a jury, and I’ll take it there if that’s what it takes.
Who writes the report. Town ‘n’ Country is unincorporated, so the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office usually responds. FHP handles the Veterans Expressway.
Where you’ll get treated. AdventHealth Westchase ER is on Sheldon Road, and St. Joseph’s Hospital is on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Serious injuries go to Tampa General, the region’s Level I trauma center.
Where your case is filed. Hillsborough County, Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse downtown.
Your deadline. Most negligence claims must be filed within 2 years. Fla. Stat. § 95.11
Steps that protect your claim.
About 20 minutes. I’m on North Dale Mabry. Come in, or I’ll come to you.
Your own uninsured motorist coverage may pay. Don’t assume you’re out of luck. Call me and I’ll look at your policy.
Nothing unless we win. No fees or costs upfront.
Nothing about your injuries or what happened. Get their name and claim number, then call me.
Me. I handle your case personally from start to finish.
Every case is handled by me. Not assistants, case managers, or call centers.
