We all hope that our accident claims will be resolved by settlement - most of them can be settled. But what happens if the insurance company is stubborn and will not pay what you deserve?   I have been a trial attorney for over 20 years.  As the lead attorney in more than 50 personal injury jury trials, including trials for other personal injury attorneys that have little or no trial experience, you can trust that I know how to handle your claim, from beginning to end.  Of course, not all cases go to trial - but it is good to know that even if we cannot settle your accident claim, your litigation case is in excellent hands.
