Justin has years of experience in making sure his clients recover or save the maximum amount possible under the circumstances of their case.

More importantly, Justin is passionate about the idea that law firms should provide better customer service, and has ensured that his firm is more responsive than its peers, with a higher staff to client ratio than other large plaintiff’s personal injury practices.
