About

CAR ACCIDENTS, WRONGFUL DEATH. PERSONAL INJURY. The types of injuries I deal with can create a ripple effect that changes everything for a whole family in an instant. I understand and have over two decades of experience fighting these fights. When I worked for insurance companies, I often handled cases worth tens of millions of dollars. When I was badly hurt in a car accident, I decided that someday, I would start my own practice so I could help people struggling with injuries. HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION AT WORK. WRONGFUL DISCHARGE. WHISTLEBLOWERS. Workplace law is tricky and the consequences of not following the law are serious. I represent individuals who have been harmed when their employers break the law. If you have suffered from discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, you need a strong lawyer on your side. BIOGRAPHY. Deena L.
