Below are selected verdicts and settlements from cases the firm has handled. Each one represents real trial preparation, real expert testimony, and in many cases, real refusal to accept what the insurance company offered.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is different, and the value of any particular case depends on its specific facts, the applicable law, the insurance coverage available, the credibility of the witnesses, and many other factors.
That said, the verdicts below are public record. They show what trial-prepared representation can produce when the facts support it. The featured case, a $20 million wrongful death verdict in a trucking accident where the insurance company's initial offer was $0, is an example of what happens when a firm refuses to accept inadequate offers and tries the case all the way through.

Every result on this page started with the same thing: trial preparation from day one. Insurance companies pay more when they know the alternative is a real trial in front of a jury, and the firm's record of taking cases to trial is what gives that threat credibility.
In one recent case, when an insurance company offered our client a low seven-figure settlement, we supported his decision to go to trial and secured a verdict that was four times the original offer. That is the difference working with a true trial firm can make.
