About Brad
Biography
My success is measured in the real differences made to my clients quality of life. My objective is simple: to protect your interests. I take pride in knowing that 70% of new clients come from referrals from my clients.
Lawyers have a secret: 90% of cases settle. Many accident lawyers and employment lawyers are afraid of going to trial because they do not have trial experience. When you're at war, I am ready, able, and competent to take the case before a jury. I am a fighter pilot in the court room with battle scars.
Nearly 80% of American workers say they're living paycheck to paycheck while corporation makes billions. As an employment lawyer, I am proud to represent employees in court against unfair and unethical companies. I've represented billion-dollar companies and know their defense strategy.
We can agree that we choose health over money. As an accident lawyer since since 2005, I've represented injured clients; I've also defended major insurance companies. Insurance companies’ lawyers defend an estimated 90% percent of injury cases. I am well versed in insurance defense strategy.
Car accident lawyers' dirty secret: Do as little work as possible, settle quickly with the insurance company and take their 44% fee. Another secret: Insurance companies rarely settle the full value of a plaintiff's case.
