We are proud of our loyal client base and the respect we receive from the legal community throughout the state of New York. Our longstanding presence in Western New York allows us to communicate more effectively with local attorneys and court personnel and thereby helps us move cases through the system more quickly. Our goal is the quickest, most satisfactory resolution to litigation for our clients, whether it be early settlement, or a verdict after trial.

We understand that simply litigating a matter thoroughly and effectively is not always the right solution. When appropriate, we encourage mediation early in litigation so that meaningful settlement discussions can occur. Although most cases settle prior to trial, maximum recoveries can only be achieved through exhaustive investigation and exacting preparation. We have earned a reputation for unwavering ethics coupled with a reputation as aggressive, firm players that are uniquely effective in trial and in settlement negotiations. Opposing counsel and court personnel know that we are committed to uncovering all the factual issues in a case and we do not compromise in achieving the best possible result for our clients.

Unlike many firms, our attorneys handle all phases of a case from beginning to end. However, we are mindful of our clients' concern for cost control. We move toward resolution of disputes in the most cost-effective manner. By keeping our clients well informed, we make sure they understand our opinion about whether or not the likelihood of success justifies the cost of litigation. Clients trust our guidance to help them make well thought-out decisions, ultimately reducing legal expenses.

As active members of the legal community, we have earned the respect of our colleagues in and out of the courtroom. We participate in organizations and professional activities to develop our skills, enhance our professional stature and ultimately better serve our clients. The members of our firm have been recognized with awards for their trial skills, have authored articles and publications, appeared at national forums, are adjunct professors, have lectured throughout the community on various legal topics and have attained leadership positions in various local and national organizations. These organizations include: the American Board of Trial Advocates, the Western New York Trial Lawyers Association, the American, New York State and Erie County Bar Associations, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the Defense Trial Lawyers Association and the American Inns of Court.

Current and satisfied clients, as well as impressed former opponents, refer us the majority of new cases and clients. Our long record of courtroom achievements reflects an understanding of what is required to obtain true excellence. We have set the standard for delivering outstanding legal advocacy to injured individuals and our exceptional understanding of the law and skillful courtroom tactics help our clients achieve a just result.
