Mr. Poisson graduated from Davidson College in North Carolina with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics in 1990.  While at Davidson, Mr. Poisson was a three year starter on the NCAA Division I soccer team and served as Co-Captain his senior season.  Upon graduation, Mr. Poisson pursued his life long dream of becoming a lawyer and enrolled at the University of Miami Law School.  He graduated with honors in 1993.

In 1991, during a summer clerkship following his first year of law school, Mr. Poisson worked on a legally complex case involving a dock worker who suffered brain damage from a fall.  The experience fostered Mr. Poisson’s desire to protect the rights of individuals and families who were the victims of negligence.  Since graduating from law school in 1993, Mr. Poisson has worked exclusively on representing the injured victims of individual and corporate negligence.

Currently, Mr. Poisson is admitted to practice in both state courts and Federal courts in Arizona, Florida, and Nevada.  In addition, he has worked on catastrophic injury cases in Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas.

Mr. Poisson has a broad background in personal injury.  He has significant experience in the handling of catastrophic injury cases that resulted from the negligence of drivers, health care providers, manufacturers, and property owners.  Mr. Poisson takes pride in his aggressive and meticulous preparation of his cases.  He also believes that it is important for the client to be fully informed so that the client can make informed decisions.  As a result of his endeavors, he has played an active role in obtaining significant compensation for clients.  In the process, he has provided a voice for many people who did not have the ability to fight their own battles against corporate and individual greed and carelessness.

The following is a sample of the results achieved through the contributions of Mr. Poisson:

Nursing home/Assisted Living Facility:     More than $600,000 for elderly client who was not properly supervised resulting in a fractured shoulder.
