WHO ARE WE?
A client dropped off a five-foot stack of records 90 days before trial. We poured through the pile, examining each document until we found one sentence in a 50-page document that nullified a term which was at issue in the lawsuit. Despite the fact attorneys litigated the case for more than two years, no one else had uncovered this provision. We were able to defeat the claim through dogged effort and resourcefulness.
That’s who we are.
