A Delaware lawyer for Delaware families.

My approach

Direct answers. Personal attention. No runaround.

After a serious injury, the last thing you need is a case handed to a case manager you never met. When you call my cell phone, you reach me -- no one else. I take the time to understand what happened, explain your options, and assist in every decision from our first conversation to the final resolution or your case.

My practice is focused on the injuries that change lives. I prepare every claim as if it will be tried to a jury, because that preparation is what gets insurance companies to take your case seriously. If an insurance company knows an attorney is just going to settle a case then they are only going to offer a low amount. I work tirelessly to ensure that my clients get the most amount of money as quickly as possible. That is what they expect of me and that is what I provide.

While I practice from our Wilmington office at McCann Dillon Jaffe & Lamb, LLC, I represent injured Delawareans across the First State and regularly meet with clients from Claymont to Fenwick Island. There is no area of Delaware I do not cover, nor is there any area where I am not able to meet a client -- usually same day.

Why I do this work

To me, personal injury is personal.

I did not come to this work by accident. My family has lived through exactly what my clients are living through now:

• My great-grandmother was crushed in an industrial transportation accident.
• My great-grandfather died in an industrial smelting accident.
• My grandfather was permanently disabled by a car accident.

I grew up hearing what those injuries did to a family: the lost paychecks, the medical bills, the people who were never quite the same. When you call me after a crash or a work injury, I understand what is at stake for you and the people who depend on you, because my family has been there.
