Of Counsel Attorney

I was born and raised in Daytona Beach/Ormond Beach area. I graduated from Seabreeze High School. I went to University of Florida and received my bachelor's degree and law degree from there. After law school I backpacked across Europe doing various odd jobs for a little over a year. When I returned, I joined the State Attorneys' office for this area and after 3 years there took another 9 months off and backpacked around the world. When returned I went back to the State Attorney's office until 1985 when I went into Insurance defense. In 1990 I started my own private practice.

Throughout the years of practice I have been involved in numerous trials including criminal law, family law, breaches of contract and personal injury defense. I am married and have been for 33 years. I have two daughters 29 and 27 years old. I am a member of the St. Demetrious Greek Orthodox Church and have been since I was an infant and in the early 2000's was President of the community. My ties in this area are deep, and I am committed to this area and to the people of this area.
