actually try it

61 cases tried to verdict

Managing trial partner
Rafael Ocampo

Partner, catastrophic injury
Danielle Okonkwo

Grant Mihalek

Who you will actually speak to
One of these four reads your case review before anyone calls you back, and one of them stays on your file until it closes. You will not be handed to a paralegal in month two and told the attorney is unavailable.
- Bilingual throughout. Two attorneys and most of the intake team work in Spanish. No phone interpreters.
- Direct line. You get a mobile number for your attorney, not a general voicemail box.
- Monthly update, minimum. Even when the honest answer is that nothing moved this month.
