Success Stories

We never lose sight of the fact that each of our clients, in these, and in all of our cases, represent individual, often tragic, situations requiring personalized attention. Our goal is to obtain for our clients the only justice that our system can provide; a jury verdict or settlement that fairly compensates them for the injuries they have suffered. Fairness and justice are always our goals. 

This list includes an abbreviated list of our successes. It does not include dozens of settlements/recoveries involving court-ordered or agreed-upon confidentiality. Citations with links display published account of case.

Although we are listing these matters to underscore our extensive experience in significant civil litigation, these cases should not create any expectation whatsoever regarding the results we may achieve in any particular case.
