Whether you are a young lawyer new to personal injury work, an unrepresented plaintiff, or you just want to be better able to monitor your attorney’s work, my new book, Winning Personal Injury Cases, is for you. I show you how to level the playing field when facing experienced defense counsel. I show you how to draft effective demand letters and settlement proposals, and much, much more.

Winning Personal Injury Cases walks you through an injury lawsuit, all the way from investigating the accident to closing argument in front of the jury, and everything in between. If you are involved in personal injury litigation, you are battling an insurance company. My book guides you through the process and lays bare the hidden traps.
