Individual medical-malpractice settlement.
Cases at this level are decided in the medical record, and mastering a record takes more than one reader. Our physician reads the medicine. Our research team organizes and cross-checks every page against the timeline of care. By the time our partners file, the firm has accounted for the whole record, not a summary of it.

Severe brain injuries, settled after jury selection.
A medical-malpractice settlement reached after jury selection for a client who suffered severe brain injuries.
Settled after the jury was picked. Opposing counsel and carriers know our lawyers try cases, and that changes a negotiation from the first week. We pursue every case the same way: investigate immediately, retain the right experts early, and account for the full cost of the injury, including the decades of care that follow it. Preparation like that is what moves the other side to resolve a case at its real value instead of testing whether the client will give up.

Questions about our case results?
We will provide straight answers about what these numbers mean, and what they don't promise about your case.
Are these results typical?
No. Every case turns on its own facts, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. We show these results so you can see the kind of work our partners have done for their clients.
Where do these figures come from?
Each figure comes from a case our founding partners handled as lead or co-counsel. Where a matter resolved confidentially, we list only what we can state publicly.
Does a large recovery here mean my case is worth that much?
The value of a case depends on the facts, the injuries, the insurance available, and the defendant. The best way to find out what your case is worth is to have us review it, for free, and with no obligation.
Who actually handles my case?
The founding partners decide whether we take a case. You will know who is responsible for your case from the first conversation.
What does it cost to find out if I have a case?
Nothing. The review is free, with no obligation, and we work on contingency: no fee unless we win for you.
