Inside the courtroom, we fight with honor and integrity for those who have been devastated by a senseless trucking tragedy. Outside of the courtroom, we fight for trucking industry and legislative reform with the goal of eliminating traffic violence involving commercial motor vehicles.

Our Commitment
The loss from a truck accident can be devastating for you and your family, which is why it is important to have a personal injury lawyer who will provide you with thorough, personalized, and dedicated legal representation.
Our firm is committed to providing this level of dedication to all of our clients, every step of the way.
We will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice. For most families, seeking justice is about more than just money. In addition to maximum compensation, we want to help your family find the answers they need to heal. As a team, we are selective with the cases we take on because it’s important to us that each of our clients receive the resources and time needed to uncover the full truth of what happened, why it happened, and how we can help prevent it from happening to others in the future.
We will treat you with integrity, honor, and compassion. In addition to being complex, the legal process can also be emotionally draining for families in grappling with tremendous loss — especially if this is your first time filing a personal injury lawsuit. Our attorneys understand this and are committed to walking you through the litigation process, ensuring that you fully understand the legal process and your options throughout. As a team, we will work with you to advocate for your rights and help you make the decisions that bring you one step closer to making your legal goals a reality.
Have more attorneys with Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) than any other firm in the nation. Having first-hand insights into the rules, regulations, and standards of care to which truck drivers must adhere allows us to uncover critical case facts and work technical knowledge into our case strategies in ways other firms can’t.
We are committed to helping truck crash victims nationwide. The justice you receive should not be limited by the personal injury attorneys in your area. We have served clients who we’ve met through recommendations from federal and state judges, trucking defense lawyers, and even court reporters. Our legal team has acted on a pro hac vice basis in over half of the natation’s states, assisting victims of trucking accidents and their lawyers in litigating intricate truck accident cases.
We prepare every case to go to trial. Our top priority is the pursuit of justice, helping you recover compensation for all that has been taken from you. After all, your quality of life and ability to heal hinges greatly on your case results. Unlike most personal injury firms, we do not treat your truck accident lawsuit as a means to make a profit through a quick settlement. We work up every case so that we are prepared to go to trial; if your family does not wish for a jury verdict, preparing your case for trial allows us to negotiate settlement terms from a position of strength.
Never charge upfront for representation. We work on a contingency basis, which means that we don’t collect legal fees unless we win your case.
