Knowledgeable, Competent, Thorough, Aggressive.

My case went on for a frustrating and tiresome four years, but thanks to Autumn and her team, we finally reached settlement - and I'm very satisfied with my both my settlement and the representation I received on her behalf. Autumn and her team are professional, experienced, and highly knowledgeable,... and talked me through every step of my case. I would, without hesitation, recommend her practice to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury case.

Would recommend to everyone!!

They were very helpful from the very beginning when I met them. I was in a bad motorcycle accident and didn’t have any medical insurance. I gave them all the information on it and they did the rest. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They were very quick with responses when I... had questions. They were able to settle which payed for all my medical bills plus extra on top of that which I was able to use to buy a house and that I am forever greatful for. Thank you so much!

Personal Injury - Bicycle Accident - Client Review

I'll start with the fact that I have had several personal injury attorneys in the past and my experience with attorneys has not been the best. I have never been happy with my experience, until now, and I have a whole new perspective of what an attorney should be. From my introduction with the firm e...veryone appeared professional which is not atypical. Most firms put on a good "face". The difference was the process. P&W called me, emailed me, kept me informed about every part of the process, and I never felt like I was missing information. My mediation process was the absolute best ever. Autumn was like a master chess player in there. She knew exactly what moves the other side would make and all day long she precisely calculated each step. I have never seen any attorney be that good before. Not only would I use Autumn again but I would not use any other attorney if given a choice...and I would say the same about the firm too. Every person I come across in the future that mentions the need for an attorney will get my full recommendation for Autumn and P&W.

Car accident lawyer | Oct 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Autumn is dedicated to her clients and tenacious in her representation. Autumn and I worked together on a very difficult case where liability and causation were both questioned. I trusted that Autumn could do the job and I was not disappointed. Autumn did not shy away from the challenges in the case and she dug in and went to work. The case by all accounts was very small, but you would never know by how hard Autumn fought. In the end Autumn was able to get our client a recovery where before she got involved there was a big question. I cannot recommend Autumn high enough for her ethical and tenacious representation."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Autumn in the legal community for years. Her expertise in personal injury is an asset to her clients. On more than one occasion I've worked with her on cases where she exceeded even my expectation for recovery. She knows the insurance companies, opposing counsel, and the right way to wade an injury case through the process to maximize recovery and to protect the rights of her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. What's more, if I needed a personal injury lawyer she is one of the few I would trust with my case."
