Helpful Resources

Mediation is an excellent dispute resolution method, helping to save money and time, and helping to save relationships from the destructive effects of litigation. Mediation involves the use of a neutral third party who helps facilitate a negotiated settlement between the parties. Mediation is useful in all sorts of cases, including family law matters, personal injury, consumer problems and other business disputes, among others.

Vets and the VA: Many changes in the last twenty years have significantly altered the rules and procedures for veterans' claims for disability compensation. The changes continue every year, adding to the complexity of an already complicated and overworked VA system. The key to success for veterans is to be persistent and never give up fighting for the compensation to which they are entitled. Give me a call at (813) 662-0760 if I can help you.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask the lawyer to send you free written information about his or her qualifications and experience.
