You Are Not Alone. We know that you are coming to us during one of the most challenging periods in your life. When a serious accident or other traumatic event happens, it is normal to feel a flood of emotions--fear, anger, confusion and pain. We want you to know that you don't have to go it alone. We are here to help you get through this difficult time. Every person has a different story with their own needs and concerns and we will make it a point to understand yours. Because of the nature of our busy litigation practice, the attorneys in our firm are extremely busy--BUT, our attorneys and staff are NEVER too busy to talk to you or meet with you, either in person or by phone. If you want to meet talk to your attorney about any matter, you will. You will not be handed off to a secretary or assistant when important matters need to be discussed and decided. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.
