Our firm advances payment for the costs of prosecuting the case up front and arranges for consultants and experts where necessary. Knowledge of the applicable law on each case we accept, the process, procedure, and court systems involved, and the approach which the defense takes in resisting liability, all contribute to our track record of recovering millions of dollars in compensation for injured clients.
