Transcript
Most of our clients have never been involved in a lawsuit before. They never imagined that they’d be bringing a lawsuit. But something happened that changed their lives. They were in a plane crash, or a car crash, or a family member was killed, or they were involved in a fire or explosion.
We represent ordinary people who have been injured by the fault of others. Usually, those who caused the harm are very powerful. They are utility companies, they are large corporations, or they are government agencies.
These defendants are very well-financed. They have an army of lawyers. We’re used to being outnumbered, but we’re never out-lawyered.
We’re known for taking cases all the way through trial and winning. That’s important even for those clients who prefer to avoid court, because it’s our reputation for winning at trial that encourages defendants to settle out of court.
In many cases, finding the proof means questioning hundreds of witnesses and unearthing thousands of documents. We leave no stone unturned. We don’t stop until we figure out exactly what happened and why. Then, we hold the wrongdoers accountable, no matter how powerful those wrongdoers may be.
We care about our clients. By entrusting us with their claims, our clients help make sure that what happened to them won’t happen again to someone else.
People choose us because we win. Our success rate is better than 99%.
