Insurance companies often try to settle fast and pay as little as possible. They may delay your claim. They may deny responsibility. They may pressure you into accepting a low offer. You deserve better. We handle the communication and negotiation so that you don’t have to deal with the insurance company directly.

Here’s how we work to protect you:

• Investigate the crash and gather evidence.
• Handle conversations with the insurance company.
• Calculate the full value of your damages, including future medical costs and lost wages.
• Fight for a fair settlement and take your case to court if necessary.

How Contingency Fees Work

When we take your case, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay anything up front. If we win your case, my fee comes from the settlement or court award, not your pocket. If we don’t win, you owe nothing. This approach allows you to get the legal help you need without adding financial stress.
