Our team can help you seek justice

As always, our firm is dedicated to obtaining justice for those who have been injured in motor vehicle collisions, bike accidents, dog bites, unsafe property, dangerous products, and medical malpractice. As a family business, we strive to give back to our clients and our community. Each year we award a $2,000 college scholarship that is only available to clients, former clients, and their immediate family members. We also donate $200 to charity for every client referred to our firm by a former client. We also have a matching program where we donate up to a $1,000 to charity when our clients choose to donate some of the money from their case to charity. In 2019, we donated $9,200 through these programs.
