Over the years our firm has evolved from a one-man office into a national law firm. In 1979, I founded the firm and worked in a small office as a sole practitioner. Since that time the firm has grown. We represent only Plaintiffs and Claimants in civil litigation. Currently, we employ 42 lawyers and about 250 support staff. I am told we are the largest Plaintiff’s law firm in the country whose offices are located in one city. Our support staff includes full time investigators, nurses, computer specialists, a public relations department and a comprehensive graphic design department. To date the firm has represented hundreds of thousands of individuals and a number of corporations. However, we only represent corporations when they have claims against other companies. We do not defend any civil cases and do not get involved in criminal cases of any kind.

Several of our lawyers have been profiled in such national publications as Forbes, Time Magazine, BusinessWeek, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The National Law Journal, The ABA Journal, and Lawyers Weekly USA. We have also appeared nationally on Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, The O’Reilly Factor, CNN, Fox, ABC Evening News, CBS Evening News, NBC Evening News, and National Public Radio among others. We have developed a national reputation by being at the forefront of Consumer Litigation. In this regard, we publish this monthly consumer news report which is mailed to over 43,000 individuals. The report is also available on the firm’s Web site.

While we have lawyers in the firm who are licensed to practice law in 19 states, we have associate lawyers in other states who work with us in cases. This combination allows us to handle civil cases all over the country. As a result, we have been able to successfully litigate cases nationwide. We represent Plaintiffs and Claimants in the following litigation areas: personal injury, products liability, consumer fraud, insurance, environmental, and pharmaceutical and business-related claims.

The firm is organized in four sections: Personal Injury, Toxic Torts, Mass Torts, and Consumer Fraud. Lawyers and support staff are assigned to these sections where they can specialize in specific areas of litigation. We believe this allows the firm to better represent our clients and that’s extremely important to all of us. We all strive to make our firm more responsive to the needs of the clients we are blessed to represent.
