The first cases we ever tried
Every firm has a first case that leaves a mark. Ours wasn’t a headline. It was a regular Alaskan with a significant injury and real financial strain. The courtroom was modest. The stakes for that family were not. Three lessons from those early days still shape our work.
Lesson 1: People first, paperwork second
The file matters, but the person behind it matters more. Listening carefully is how you find the facts.
See how we apply that approach today on our Personal Injury page.
Lesson 2: Preparation wins quiet victories
Early scene photos, clean medical timelines, and complete witness details change outcomes. That is why we encourage a glove-box plan. Start with What to Do After an Accident.
Lesson 3: Community trust is the compass
Neighbors become clients, and clients, in turn, become helpers to others in the community when unexpected mishaps occur. It is a cycle of support that keeps us accountable to clear communication and steady advocacy, case after case.
