About
- We go the extra mile to humanize our clients, which helps us help them more
- I want to know who they really are, or who their loved ones were
- I want to see their fly-fishing pictures on the wall, to smell their flowers in the garden, to hear their children playing upstairs
- I want to talk to their neighbors, their friends, their football coach
- The courtroom can be a cold place, full of strangers
- But if I know my client – really know them – I can paint the picture that brings my client justice
- And I don’t settle for quarter justice or half justice
- I want to see that a young mother t-boned by a commercial truck has enough money to cover her mental health care
- I want to see that the rehab center where a young man with a lifelong brain injury died trimming trees changes their supervision practices for good
- I want to see that a boy who fell from an apartment’s faulty second story window will always have a home, and the medical equipment and care he needs to live the fullest life he can
- There are so many sweet glorious victories that allow me to put my head on my pillow at night — justices that let me know I’m on the right path
- But my career was not always a righteous one
- Before opening my own firm, I worked as a defense attorney for manufacturers
- My job was to make sure these companies paid as little as possible in the catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases that came our way
- I remember going down the elevator from that ivory tower for the last time, knowing I would never be back, and with only one case lined up for my new business
- I was scared, sure, but I knew I was doing the right thing
- I knew I wanted to bring about positive change and prevent injury and harm — not keep the same system in place that allowed it to happen
- That’s why I bend over backwards to make sure my firm does whatever we need to go the extra mile for our clients
- Yes, it can be emotionally tiring
- And leaving work at work is challenging
- Growing up poor as church mice, I remember my daddy and his daddy before him working on the ranch
- It became my dream to do the same
- And I realized that dream
- So when I’m not practicing law, you will find me at the ranch, feeding animals, repairing fences or working on the tractor
- It’s my therapy, spending time out on the ranch with my wife, Ginger, and our children, Jackson and Jordan
- The secret to my sauce is thinking outside the box
- When someone has been hurt or killed by the negligence of others or by a defective product, experience matters
- Having the necessary resources to go toe-to-toe with large corporations and their insurance company, matters
- And I get giddy thinking about the good we can do for our clients, and the harm we can prevent from happening to other people down the road
- I’m in the business of holding people accountable so that we can have a world where we don’t see this type of negligence happen any more
- But until that happens, I have the honor of working with some of the kindest people in the world, getting them the justice they deserve
- And that’s mighty amazing
