Our Lawyers
Tough, experienced trial lawyers ready to fight back to protect our clients.
Our firm exists to help people successfully navigate serious legal challenges. For over 20 years, we have defended people charged with serious crimes, protected whistleblowers who have reported corporate fraud, and helped families rebuild their lives after serious injuries.
The people who work at this firm come from different backgrounds, but we all share four core principals that guide our work every day:
1. We tell you the truth – We stay in close touch with our clients and their families and we always tell them the truth about their case.
2. We finish the case strong – We don’t quit on our clients. We keep working until we have done everything we can do to finish the case successfully, no matter how long that may take.
3. We work from the heart – We treat people like we would want to be treated, and we give each client the personal attention they deserve. There are no “paycheck lawyers” who work here.
4. We think outside the box – Our creativity and experience help us win cases that seem impossible. We don’t mind being different from other firms, or trying new strategies when the old ones don’t work.
