The firm has a long-established and mature appreciation for the unique goals and objectives of the insurance industry in handling claims and litigation, and for the concerns of the industry over maintaining control over the direction and cost of litigation. The firm recognizes the need of the claims professional to establish and maintain a close working partnership with defense counsel so that litigation can be managed and directed based upon clearly identified, case-specific goals, with costs and benefits continually evaluated.

The firm prides itself on a well-established reputation among personal injury and defense attorneys and judicial personnel throughout the state, and utilizes its credibility as a firm that vigorously tries its lawsuits to achieve favorable settlements and avoid trials when feasible. We also advocate and encourage the timely use of alternative dispute resolution to settle cases and avoid unnecessary litigation expense. When trials are necessary, we employ advanced techniques in case management and in courtroom visual aids including sophisticated exhibit displays for photographs and documents, scale models, computer models, and computer animation.

The firm has a state-of-the-art time and billing system that can provide the insurer with all of the data necessary to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the services provided, and to track every detail of the expenses incurred. We also welcome the use of alternative billing methods that reward the firm for efficiency and provide the insurer with predictability in the cost of litigation.
