As lawyers, we stand in a unique position of trust with not only our clients, but the justice system as a whole.  I take these obligations seriously and feel privileged to serve our clients to the best of my abilities.  Â
When I first meet with clients, my primary focus is to simply listen to everything they have to say. Â By understanding my clients' lives, challenges and aspirations, I can better recommend options, work with clients to implement sensible solutions, and leave each client with the sense they had an advocate who truly cared about them. Many of our clients report feeling relieved after initial consultations largely because they were able to talk to a professional who can listen intensively without interruption.
Extensive courtroom experience, detailed fact investigation, and a command of the law are often the difference between winning and losing at trial. But the best lawyers know that every case need not end up before a jury. Many cases can and should settle, and these settlements require a different, but no less important, skill set.  A personal injury lawyer must know his client's capacity for risk and advise that client accordingly. Where a prolonged jury trial may be the best recommendation for one client, arbitration or mediation may be the better option for another client. Each case, like each client, is different. Â
For over 34 years, I have been advocating for individuals to get them full and fair compensation for the medical costs, pain and suffering, permenent injuries and disfigurement, and life disruption they have been forced to endure through no fault of their own. Whether representing pedestrians struck by reckless motorists, motorcyclists suffering from catastrophic injuries caused by the carelessness of drivers, or families who have lost loved ones by negligent truck drivers, I take on each client as if I were representing a member of my family, confident that through hard work, vigilence, and a dedication to excellence, Charnoff Simpson will continue to achieve great results for deserving clients.  Â
