How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

Two reasons:

#1: I am a former insurance company lawyer who became ashamed of insurer tactics crafted to take advantage of those injured due no fault of their own. I now anticipate insurer tactics and flip my insurer insights to my client's advantage;and

2. I was seriously injured in an automobile crash long ago. I have not forgotten the experience, empathize with people hurt by others and want to help.

I am a former insurance company defesne

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

I learned insurance working for Nationwide Insurance Company for a decade-- 6 years as an injury defense lawyer and 4 as a claims attorney resolving high exposure insurance coverage disputes nationally. Over my 25 year plus legal career I have only worked on insurance and injury related matters. The last 15 years I have solely represented folks with injury, disability or insurance claims. I have resolved over $15M in claims.

I know how insurers think. Knowing how the other side thinks is key to successful injury claim resolution.
