From Derek Smith: “A lawyer once told me many years ago not to get so emotionally involved in my cases. Well, I think the complete opposite is true! It makes me furious when to hear stories of employers discriminating against or sexually harassing their employees! If an employer treats you differently because of your race, religion, age, gender or disability, I say, “How dare they??!” If your boss sexually harasses you or compels you to have a sexual relationship of any kind, I am outraged! We like to partner and become one with our clients. We represent them, and they represent us. We are a team. That is our philosophy. We are personally offended when injustice is done to our clients. So, to that lawyer, who said that many years ago to me, I say that you are so, very, very wrong! It is that emotional attachment to our cases that helps us to better represent our clients and get them the most that we can on their case. That is how we have obtained many, multi-million dollar jury verdicts and many, multi-million dollar settlements for our clients. The results speak for themselves.”
We have receovered Hundred of Millions for our clients. We have also secured a settlement in excess of $15 Million on behalf of a client. We have obtained the largest upheld Jury Verdict for Emotional Diistress in the entire United States. Feel free to call or email us now.
