PERSONAL INJURIES:

It is extremely important to have experienced, knowledgeable representation at the hearing level when presenting your case to an Administrative Law Judge. Attorney Wood has obtained successful results on many such appeals.
RAILROAD INJURIES:
Attorney Wood, a former locomotive engineer and union officer, has over 35 years handling railroad accident injuries including wrongful death claims and amputations. He has successfully represented injured railroad workers throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Knowledge and experience with this special field of law as well as knowledge of railroad practices and procedures is vital to achieve successful results for these claims.
Mr. Wood also handles estate planning and marriage dissolutions.
