I have known Jack and worked with him for over 22 years and I say without hesitation, he's the finest lawyer I know. His work ethic and legal acumen are stellar and unsurpassed. Jack is a result-driven, focused and fearless litigator, fair and balanced, but never intimidated by his opponents. He has a compassion for defending the rights of the underprivileged and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any plaintiff who has a personal injury or medical malpractice claim. I am proud to be Jack's law partner.”

After witnessing his intellect, ethical standards, passion for law, and dedication to his client’s cases, I decided I had found my ideal firm partner.
