Our Work
Simply put: we aren’t afraid to take hard cases. Cases that other firms may see as too complicated, we see as opportunities to be creative. We don’t take every case, but if we take your case, we invest our whole selves in building the case for trial.
As a litigation firm, our interest is in cases that involve complex legal issues or catastrophic injury or death. Because every trial firm views cases and assess risk differently, we have successfully taken cases that other firms have denied. A common source of our business comes from other lawyers who value our legal abilities and trust their clients’ needs to us.
Complex litigation — serious injury and death cases — requires resources and experience to recognize and overcome the legal hurdles that every case faces. Corporations and insurance companies hire skilled lawyers and spare no expense in avoiding responsibility for injuries.
