About Our Firm
Our Experienced Team is Here to Help You
Our staff features a select group of hand-picked advocates here to assist with providing you justice. Many of our staff have worked previously “behind enemy lines” at the insurance company, so we know how the big companies operate.
Investigators
Our dedicated investigators will go to the scene of your accident, speak with witnesses, work with the police, and expose the truth through the facts for you.
Negotiators:
Our skilled negotiators do one thing, and they do it well: Emphasize the merits of your case in the fight for fair value against the insurance company. As with our investigators, many have worked for the insurance company in the past prior to making the change to represent the interests of injured people. We know what to do, what to say, and how to get your case resolved in your best interest.
Paralegals and Support Staff:
Our team includes client support staff, who are here to answer your questions, assist in the management of your case, and to be a resource during a time that may be new to you.

I’ve had a great experience working with Rob and all of his associates that helped me during this difficult process.
Rob personally came to my house on our very first meeting and each time his associates also came to a middle point and always coordinated graciously with me.
My chiropractic office recommended them and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thank you so much!
