My journey to becoming an advocate for the rights of personal injury victims began on the opposite side.  I spent eight years representing insurance companies against good people who were injured in car wrecks, truck wrecks, work related accidents and slip and fall accidents.  While I fought hard for my clients, the cases always left me empty inside.  One particular moment occurred when an adjuster discontinued weekly wage loss checks to a workers compensation victim without any reason.  I found out that the injury victim was unable to feed her family more than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Thanksgiving.  That poor lady and her family inspired me to stop fighting for the insurance company and start fighting for the injury victim.  I left my old firm and started working for Brad and Brian Pistotnik.  I quickly realized that Brian was the one who didn't care about fancy cars, jets and being famous.  Instead, Brian focused his attention on getting his clients what they deserved - fair, just and real compensation for their injuries.  I have followed along with him in my practice and continue to work hard for my clients to get them the best.
