I am originally from upstate New York and moved to Florida at age 18. I have lived in St Petersburg off and on since 1978. I have also lived in Jensen Beach when I worked on a boat as a deckhand, Miami where I attended law school and worked in a nightclub, Palm Beach Gardens and Tarpon Springs. I worked for the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Sevices (HRS) for three years processing Medicaid applications at Bayfront Medical Center before attending law school.
This proved to be an invaluable experience in my legal career, as it gave me an insight into how governmental agencies such as Social Security and tyhe Veterans Administration process medical disability claims. As an attorney, I first worked for FEMA heloing people and businesses with disaster loans after Hurricane Andrew in Miami and the "Storm of the Century" in Crystal River.
Thereafter, I secured a position as an associate with John G. Thompson and Associates in Tarpon Springs from 1994 to 1997, practicing Social Security disability, personal injury, and worker's compensation. Subsequently, I worked for John H. Thompson IV, P.A in St. Petersburg practicing in the same areas.
In 2010 I opened my own office where I concentrate my practice on Social Security disability law and personal injury law. I recently received accredidation to practice before the Veterans Administration and look forward to building my practice in that area of the law as well. I represent clients from Crystal River to Sarasota and have satellite offices inTarpon Springs, Tampa and Sarasota.
