He continued to work with the firm even after graduation, which helped him to gain extensive experience in the field. He brings all that knowledge to Playter Trial Lawyers, and helps represent individuals who have been wrongfully terminated, were injured in auto accidents, or who face other personal injury or employment discrimination cases.
