Our process
Every new case is reviewed by a founding partner within 24 hours. From the first call to the final check, the same senior attorney stays on your file — no transfers, no case managers, no hand-offs to a junior associate the carrier has never heard of.
Intake
Senior attorney call within 24 hours. We pull your records, file the FR-10, and put spoliation letters on every carrier.
Investigation
Reconstruction, witness statements, surveillance preservation. We retain the experts the carrier knows by name.
Negotiation
Demand packet built to settle for the right number. If the offer isn’t fair, we file suit — quickly and without theater.
Trial
Two senior trial attorneys on every file. We try cases. The carriers know who they’re dealing with from the first phone call.
Case results
A selection of recent verdicts and settlements. Every result is the aggregate of long preparation, the right experts, and the carrier knowing we’re ready to try the case.
