Biography

The first time I ever stood up in front of a jury, I knew that it was where I belonged. I’ve been told that, in front of a jury, I seem to have the opposite of stage fright, and I suppose that’s true. It’s where I feel most comfortable: advocating for my clients, arguing their cases. As a trial lawyer, the courtroom is my second home.

I try cases because I enjoy helping people, whether they’re ordinary people who’ve been wronged by a product, company, or a business that’s been harmed by the actions of another. I truly do care about the people I represent. If I ever stop caring, I’ll quit practicing law—that's how strongly I feel about what we do at Aldous Law.

I've tried cases involving birth injuries, medical malpractice, sexual assault, and other forms of personal injury.
