Our Philosophy

Our office is the antithesis of the "big box" mega firm whose ads on television feature breaking glass, squealling tires, and smiling lawyers. We don't engage in such advertising because 1.) We feel it is demeaning to the legal profession and court system, and 2.) We want to remain small, and pick and choose our clients so that the small number of cases we do handle will get the greatest attention, and the greatest result. We believe smaller is better, and we believe that no attorney can competently handle more than twenty-five cases at one time.

We also want to help you get better, which may include referring you to the right doctor for your injuries, directing you to the best therapists, and engaging the right vocational rehabilitation specialist to get you back to work.

Choosing an attorney for your personal injury case is a critical decision which must be made on an informed basis. The decision should certainly not be made on the basis of advertising alone. Anyone can buy a slick television or radio ad, and many have. But what is in a catchy jingle? And you must ask yourself, "Is a big box law firm right for me?" "Will I get the personal attention my case requires?" "How do I know which attorney to choose when all of their ads seem to say the same thing?"

If you need help in deciding which lawyer and law firm is right for you, I suggest you order a free copy of my book, "An Insider's Guide to Avoiding Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Injury Case". It contains valuable information on how to find the right lawyer and the right questions to ask when you are interviewing lawyers for your case. It also contains tips on how to spot the WRONG lawyer and why you should run away from lawyers who tell you certain things about your case. You also get the added benefit of learning about the most common critical mistakes that lawyers and their clients make that can absolutely ruin your case.
