I was sixteen when a wreck changed my life.
The passenger next to me was thrown from the car. I broke my collarbone and spent six months recovering. Every attorney I talked to wanted thirty-five percent, so I settled the case myself for $9,000. Years later I learned it was worth well over $100,000.
That settlement is the reason I went to law school, and the reason the insurance companies are not going to do to my clients what they did to me. The record-clearing side of my practice comes from the same place: too many people who beat their case still get crushed by an arrest that follows them on every background check.
