THANK YOU FOR THE HONOR OF SERVING YOU IN 2017
by Pat Cummings
Many clients who come in to meet with us for the first time are entrenched in one of the most difficult and confusing times of their lives. Usually, our client or their close family member has suffered devastating injuries or illnesses as a result of a truck or auto crash, asbestos exposure, or a vaccine side effect. When they walk through our door, almost none of our clients have any experience with litigation. The defendants, on the other hand — large trucking operations, manufacturing corporations, and insurance companies — litigate cases every single day. This imbalance can leave clients feeling powerless. That’s where we can be of service: Our job is to level the playing field. Most companies are ethical and try to do the right thing. However, there are exceptions. For example, during cases we handled in 2017, we have seen companies put their bottom line ahead of the safety and well-being of everyday folks like you and me. We’ve seen trucking companies cut costs by not vetting dangerous drivers. We’ve seen manufacturing corporations knowingly expose workers to exceedingly dangerous substances like asbestos. We’ve seen financial institutions cook the books and retaliate against
whistleblowers. We’ve seen insurance companies misrepresent how much insurance coverage is available to our clients. At our firm, we relish in the opportunity to level the playing field for our clients. The law offers many protections for everyday people like you and me. One of the great joys of my job happens when we can utilize these protections to obtain a fantastic result for our clients. In addition to protecting our clients’ legal rights, however, we also strive to help our clients’ emotional well- being. With every client we have, our firm aims to shoulder the burden and stress of a lawsuit so our clients can get back to what’s important — taking care of themselves and their families. We understand what a tremendous honor it is to represent people who call us in their greatest time of need. We are humbled by your expression of confidence in us. Thank you for allowing us to serve you in 2017. We look forward to working together in 2018.
