Ted Colquett | Birmingham Personal Injury & Insurance Lawyer

A recent case involving an insurance claim denied in bad faith put a homeowner in a very precarious financial situation. We were able to step in and show the claim was wrongfully denied and ultimately received a substantial settlement that enable the homeowner to stay in her house and get back on her feet financially.

One case, one client at a time.

Someone whose belief system is the same as the client. By that I mean WHY are we working the case, does the client have the same WHY, and are we focused and aligned on the same outcome.

In one word--EXTREMELY. Local knowledge allows attorneys to tailor their strategies based on insights into how the opposing party and local courts view specific issues, which can significantly influence the outcomes of cases. We are aware of local customs and practices that can influence how cases are litigated and how settlements are negotiated. And we know the specific rules, customs, and expectations of the local court system, ensuring filings and presentations align with local standards.

EVERYTHING.

We go through the basics, name and address and so forth. But we also focus on the outcome, what the client wants from the case and why.

Honestly, I think it is because we focus on why we do what we do -- our firm is here to generate financial benefits and victories for our clients, not ourselves.

When a client says, Thank you.

I am a certified yoga instructor.

I try to be, as much as the job allows of course. I have always been active in my church and have served on several boards in the Birmingham area as well as national professional boards.
