Jordan is committed to working day and night for his clients to bring justice to their loved ones. Not only does Jordan have qualified practical experience in personal injury litigation, but his values that motivate his hard work are the reason he stands out: Jordan’s passion for each case with which he works is unmistakable to his clients, colleagues, and the community. He is dedicated to preventing further incidents from occurring in the future, increasing safety awareness, and giving families justice they deserve. This dedication is why Jordan went to night school at a local community college to obtain his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). He describes his choice to pursue this license as a part of his commitment to serve and represent his clients’ full needs:

“It’s not really fair to be judgmental and pick apart what a driver may or may not be doing if you don’t really know what you’re talking about. So, I figured the best way to know what I am talking about is to go ahead and get the license myself.” -Jordan

Jordan takes the next step to become fully involved in his cases, using what he learns from his experience and CDL training. For example, he represented a woman whose car was hit by a semi-truck and analyzed the pre-trip inspection report and logbook to determine the truck driver was not telling the truth about his whereabouts before the crash. Jordan’s professional demeanor and knowledge coupled with his ability to connect with people are the reasons why a client of his who was involved in a crash wrote in a 5-star review, “[Jordan’s] empathy and understanding equaled his legal expertise.”

When he is not at the office or on the road working for his clients, Jordan like to spend time with his wife and son, and going out for Italian food. He also enjoys running and hiking with his dog, Stevie, and going skiing.

No matter what type of case he is working on, Jordan will be with you through every step of the process and will make it his mission to get justice for your family, with the support and compassion you deserve.
