Our prime objectives when handling your personal injury or professional liability matter are to:

  • Leverage our expertise, reputation, resources and tenacity to maximize your recovery.
  • Resolve your case as promptly as we can, for as much as we can.

  • Reduce your stress and worry trough clear, understandable and timely communication; education about your claim and the process; and prompt responses to your questions, calls and emails.

When you engage us to handle your personal injury or professional liability matter, you are a client, not just another file. We are selective about the cases we take. You are important to us. Personal injury and professional liability cases can be emotionally and physically taxing. We are committed to your well-being, not just the legal outcome.

We are trial lawyers. We have tried hundreds of cases and over 50 arbitrations. Opposing parties, insurance companies and defense counsel know that we are not afraid to try cases. We leverage our trial reputation to maximize your recovery.

Our trial attorneys have experience pursuing and defending accident-related cases, professional liability actions, insurance claims and personal injury litigation. We have previously defended retailers, businesses, restaurants, product manufacturers, chemical and drug companies, and insurance companies in personal injury cases. We apply that experience and perspective to evaluate, pursue and resolve your case.

We have a proven record and a strong success rate in court and in settling cases. Ask us about our experience negotiating with insurance companies, mediating cases, and our ability to take cases to trial if necessary.
