Recent Results That Changed Lives
A representative selection of settlements and verdicts obtained for our clients over the past three years. Every case is unique — but every result below represents a real person whose future was protected.
Highway Collision with Fatigued Commercial Driver
Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury when a tractor-trailer rear-ended his vehicle on the interstate. Investigation revealed the driver had exceeded federal hours-of-service limits for three consecutive days. We secured the policy limits plus a separate bad-faith recovery from the carrier.
Surgical Error Resulting in Permanent Nerve Damage
A routine procedure turned catastrophic when the surgeon inadvertently severed a nerve, leaving our client with permanent loss of function in her dominant hand. We retained three board-certified experts who testified to clear deviations from the standard of care. The case settled during jury selection.
Drunk Driver Collision — Bad-Faith Recovery
Our client sustained severe orthopedic injuries when struck by a repeat-offense drunk driver. After the insurer offered only $40,000, we documented a clear bad-faith refusal to settle within policy limits. The final recovery of $875,000 exceeded the policy limits through the bad-faith claim.
Construction Fall from Unsafe Scaffolding
A laborer fell twenty feet when general-contractor-supplied scaffolding collapsed. We pursued a third-party liability claim outside the workers' compensation framework, documenting multiple OSHA violations. The settlement compensated our client for future medical care and lost earning capacity.
Felony Assault — Self-Defense Verdict in Under Two Hours
Our client faced eight years in state prison on felony assault charges. Our investigation uncovered surveillance footage the police had overlooked, which clearly established self-defense. The jury returned a not-guilty verdict after less than two hours of deliberation.
Recoveries Across the Firm
Total compensation recovered for clients, broken down by practice area over the past five years. Each figure represents hundreds of individual cases resolved.
Landmark Trial Outcomes
Cases we took to verdict — and the outcomes that have shaped our reputation in the courtroom.
$2.4M — Commercial Truck Collision
Federal hours-of-service violation established through driver log analysis; jury verdict exceeded carrier's policy limits after bad-faith refusal to settle.
$1.8M — Surgical Nerve Injury
Three board-certified experts testified to deviations from the standard of care. Settled during jury selection as defense counsel recognized the strength of our liability case.
Not Guilty — Felony Assault
Surveillance footage obtained during our investigation established self-defense. Jury returned not-guilty verdict in under two hours of deliberation.
$1.2M — Wrongful Death (Premises Liability)
Negligent security claim on behalf of a family who lost a loved one in an apartment-complex assault. Verdict established new precedent for premises liability in the region.
$950K — Slip-and-Fall (Traumatic Brain Injury)
Big-box retailer failed to address documented hazardous condition. Our client sustained permanent cognitive impairment; jury awarded damages exceeding pre-trial offer by 4x.
$4.2M — Wrongful Death (First Major Verdict)
The case that established our firm's reputation for taking matters other attorneys considered unwinnable. Set the foundation for three decades of courtroom advocacy.

Immigration LeadHow We Build Winning Cases
Every result on this page followed the same disciplined four-step process — refined over three decades and applied to every case we accept.
Investigate
Within 48 hours of retention, our team secures physical evidence, sends preservation letters, photographs the scene, and identifies every potential defendant. Time is the most valuable asset in any case — we treat it accordingly.
Build the Team
We assemble the right experts for your case — accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, economists, vocational experts. The strength of our expert network is a primary reason insurers and defense counsel take our demands seriously.
Document Damages
We don't simply add up medical bills. We work with life-care planners and economists to calculate the full lifetime cost of an injury — future treatment, lost earning capacity, loss of quality of life — and present it in a way juries can feel.
Try or Settle
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. That trial-readiness is precisely why so many of our cases settle favorably — but when insurers refuse to be reasonable, we are fully prepared to take the case before a jury.
