Handling Cases Promptly and Avoiding Unnecessary Costs
Our firm has extensive experience in providing a defense against a wide range of claims including construction defect, auto accident, premises liability, product defect, and more.
We work quickly to pursue the resolution of claims, producing timely reports and detailed recommendations pursuant to our clients' guidelines. Our initial evaluation, is always completed within a minimum of 30 days.
We also make a point of using cost-effective tactics, adopting a level of activity that is appropriate to the claim at hand and rejecting wasteful practices that can drive up litigation costs. For example, unless otherwise instructed, we don't spend more money to work up a case then to resolve it. We don't over bill for using existing form files to propound discovery. We apportion our bills when attending multiple court hearings at one time. We avoid attending non-substantive court hearings altogether via telephonic appearances. We attempt to settle cases quickly where an appropriate settlement can be obtain before fully working up the case.We use many other techniques such as this, to give you the most representation for your dollar.
Simple to Read, Itemized Billing
We never block bill. All of our billing entries contain one activity per entry, and are simple to read and understand. Attorneys never bill for items that can be done by a paralegal or legal assistant.
Providing Versatile Joint Representation For Those With A Self Insured Retention In addition to representing insurance companies, we also represent businesses who have a self insured retention that must be exhausted before their insurance company steps in. We attempt to resolve your case for less then the amount of the self insured retention, but when there is a potential for that to be exceeded, we also provide proper reporting and case handling to facilitate the involvement of your insurance company at the appropriate stage. Because we accept most insurance companies' rates, and know what they want, we are often able to convince them to allow us to continue to handle your case after they become involved, rather then transitioning you to unknown panel counsel that you did not select.
