Verdicts & Settlements

Many attorneys want to tell you about big settlements. While we have settled cases for totals in excess of $100,000,000, we think a better indicator of our dedication to protecting our clients' rights are the results we have achieved in the courtroom. While prior results are no guarantee of future success, they do demonstrate that we are willing and able to take cases to trial, and we can do so effectively.
