The choice of a Personal injury attorney should be an even more thoughtful process than the selection of other types of attorneys. Usually technical and legal competence is all that is needed. In Personal Injury law, however, a story must be told, and a jury must be made to believe. This requires an attorney with skills beyond legal competency. Robert Curran has these skills. He brings compassion, insight and a world of experience to his cases and his clients. I heartily endorse him.
