Legal help across Manatee County
I represent people throughout Manatee County, including Bradenton, Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, and Anna Maria Island. Criminal and DUI cases here run through the Twelfth Judicial Circuit at the Manatee County Judicial Center in Bradenton, and knowing the local courts, the prosecutors, and the way local insurers evaluate injury claims is part of how I build a case. I am not a referral service, and from the first call through trial you work with me, not a case manager.
On the injury side, Interstate 75, US-41, US-301, State Road 64 known as Manatee Avenue, and State Road 70 carry local, commuter, and tourist traffic, and the fast-growing Lakewood Ranch corridor along SR-70 and University Parkway has seen crashes climb with the traffic. Serious injuries are often treated at Blake Medical Center or Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton, or at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center. I represent injured people, not insurance companies, and I build the case the way it has to be built to move an adjuster toward fair value.
On the criminal side, I defend DUI, drug, traffic, violent, and other charges in the Manatee courts. As an ACS-CHAL forensic lawyer-scientist and a former public defender, I work the breath and blood science and the courtroom the way these cases demand.
