If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney it’s probably because you’ve been seriously hurt by the negligence of others. On the other side is a person or company, represented by insurance company lawyers, that is resisting the obligation to provide fair compensation for your injuries.

Not only did Marc and Eric win the case, they served us well, with exceptional briefs, procedural finesse (a skill not to be underestimated) and near-instantaneous responsiveness. Even so, this is the level of performance that clients should expect of their lawyers.
