A lawyer who doesn’t try cases is NOT a trial lawyer! / ¡Un abogado que no prueba casos no es un abogado litigante!

Experience matters! 99% of the lawyers I know haven’t tried 2 jury trials in their entire careers. I’m talking about picking the jury, doing the opening statements, cross-examining witnesses, the closing…the whole thing. Lots of lawyers talk like they know how to try a case; very few do. The overwhelming percentage of lawyers never try even one case. This May I will have my 4th jury trial in the last 13 months. In that, I also tried 12 workers’ compensation trials with a total value of over $2 million dollars. That’s 16 trials in a year and a month.

Insurance companies know who is willing to go into a courtroom and fight. They also know who will roll-over. If you want your case to get the maximum value then you must have a lawyer who will battle for you in a court. We like a good fight!
