A very small percentage of cases go all the way to a jury trial. Rather, many result in settlements between the parties – sometimes before a lawsuit is even filed, or sometimes on the proverbial “courthouse steps.”

We have learned that preparing our cases as if each one will go to trial is the best approach. Just as importantly, our opponents (insurance companies and other attorneys) have learned that if our firm takes a case we will be prepared to litigate it in front of a judge or jury if a fair settlement and/or resolution is not offered.

As a result, we carry somewhat lower caseloads than our peers because we prepare each case for trial, not for settlement.
