We decided to become lawyers
because we wanted to help people. Our clients are real people -
not corporations. We work with small-business owners, individuals,
and their families.
We decided long ago that we
didn't want to use our skills to help some large, faceless
organization more interested in profits than people.
Consumer bankruptcy and
foreclosure defense provides us with the perfect opportunity to provide
our legal skills to assisting those who are in dire need of relief.
As we all know, the banking, mortgage, and credit card industries have
all gone without meaningful regulation and oversight for many years now.
They have run rampant with their corporate greed leaving so many of us
in the wake of their destruction. We are blessed to possess the
skills required to give struggling people a fighting chance to get back
on their feet.
Regarding personal injury, our
clients all have one thing in common: Somebody did something
to hurt them and isn't treating them fairly by acknowledging the
wrong and fixing it. What can you do when you aren't treated
fairly? You can hire a lawyer who is willing to work hard for
real people like you.
Often, but not always, the
people who hurt our clients realize what they did and want to do the
right thing. But their insurance companies take over, and the
companies try as hard as they can to keep our clients from being
treated fairly.
The insurance industry makes
its profits by taking your money and holding on to it for as long as
it possibly can. So the industry often denies claims it knows
are perfectly valid. Insurance companies stall and delay so
the can hold on to people's money longer and invest it for huge
profits - but meanwhile, our clients are forced to wait.
We don't work for the
insurance industry; our job is to help people when the insurance
industry is giving them the runaround.
It has become popular to pick
on people who do what we do for a living. But we are proud to
say that we help real people in need. We don't think there is
a much better job in our legal system than helping to make sure that
system works right for the average American families it was intended
to help.
