I think that at some very basic level I have always been a blue collar guy. I grew up fishing and fixing cars. My mom was a school teacher; my dad worked for the phone company. Before law school I spent five years climbing telephone poles for a living, just like my father. I know what it means to earn money one dollar at a time. I think because of that there is nothing that bothers me more than when someone who doesn’t know what it means to work for a living tries to railroad regular people out of the money they need to put their lives back together after an injury caused by the negligence of another.
The personal injury and wrongful death law can seem complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. What is important to me is that I sit down and talk to each client about the law, to explain the law that applies to his or her case. It is important to me to spend this time because I want each client to understand all legal options and then let them choose which option is right for them. I want clients to feel that they are calling the shots in their case. When an injured client has all the information about the facts of their injury case and understands the legal rules that apply, they can make a decision that is best for them personally.
In every case, with every client, I spend the time to talk straight about the law. It’s not just about great results. It’s about great results that the client understands and feels good about. I feel that this is the kind of experience that everyone should have when they hire a personal injury lawyer.
