  • Our relationship with you matters:The type of relationship you develop with your attorney throughout the pendency of your case is very important. Every case and every client is unique. A major component of your case is what is known as “general damages”, commonly referred to as “pain and suffering”. We refer to this as the “change in the quality of life”--the effect the injuries have had on a client’s recreational activities, household activities, work, activities with their families, etc.

    We believe the only way an attorney can demonstrate and effectively communicate this change in the quality of life to an insurance adjustor, mediator, or jury, is to get to know their clients on a personal level. There is simply no substitute for developing this relationship with clients. In our experience, the better we go to know our clients and their family and friends, the better the outcome.
