Everything starts with a telephone consulation.  If the client and we are both interested in going further, we can email the retainer contract and begin work.  If the client prefers to meet in person, a time and place is scheduled.  There is quite a bit of communication at first as we gather necessary facts and documents to support your case.  We communicate a lot by email or text message.  If you prefer, we can do Zoom or Team meetings, or in person.

I graduated from college and went directly into law school. I graduated from law school in 2 years and was hired by a defense firm where I represented individuals, businesses and government entities who had been sued for injuring others. I moved to another defense firm that represented insurance companies and analyzed and litigated their obligations under the insurance policies purchased by their insured. About 1998, I decided I wanted to work on behalf of those who were injured instead of working for the defendants. I have never regretted it.
I have represented people of all ages, economic levels, and ethnicities. I believe that, at heart, we all want fairness, regardless of background.
I enjoy trying to make cases out of seemingly bad facts. I represented a woman who fractured the top of her index finger when she tripped over cable used to charge EV’s at a grocery store. Everyone thought that it was her fault and that the injury was minor. After investigation, I discovered that there is consensus in the EV industry that charging cables are a tripping hazard, and that this particular station was improperly assembled, causing the cables to lie on the ground, where consumers were forced to walk. The liability became much clearer. The client was also a professional baker, and her ability to carry sacks of flour, sugar, and to work the dough was impacted by her injury. The damage became much stronger. As a result, I was able to achieve a favorable settlement where others thought the case had no value.
The most important quality in any relationship is honesty and trust. It’s no different with attorneys. Lots of people will tout their trials and settlements, and I could do the same. What good does it do you if you hire a great trial attorney whom you do not trust? Find someone whom you trust and who is honest with you. That person will also be honest and trustworthy with the defense and will get their respect, and will get you the best result.
What is your experience in handling cases like mine? Do you carry E & O insurance? Will you be the attorney who works on my case? Will you answer my calls or do I have to speak to your assistant?
