Why I Became a
Know Your Rights
Personal Injury Attorney

I came to the practice of law a little later in life, starting law school after working blue-collar jobs for 15 years. While in law school, I clerked for SiebenCarey in workers’ compensation. When I graduated, I joined the firm to fight for the rights of injured workers and have done so ever since. Part of our tradition here is working closely with labor unions to ensure that workers’ rights are protected when out on the job. I couldn’t have chosen a better profession for my background and life experiences.

In need of a personal injury attorney? Well you're if you're reading this you're in the right place. You'd be hard pressed to find more competent attorneys than the ones here at SiebenCarey.

They took my case to trial and an amazing job presenting the facts and fighting for my best interests! Three years ago I was unsure of what my future would bring; now that it's over I can rest a bit easier. With SiebenCarey as my counsel, I believe I had the absolute BEST representation a person could've asked for. I knew that I wanted the absolute best representation when searching for an attorney to handle my case and I most definitely received it.

If you need a personal injury attorney, look no further. Can't recommend highly enough.
