"I've represented thousands of people in injury and wrongful death cases. Clients want to be treated with dignity and respect. They want an experienced lawyer; someone to guide them through a difficult time. I think we do that about as well as it can be done."
Attorney Elliot Olsen Attorney Elliot Olsen

"For all of us, we think about our clients first. Most people aren't able to get good settlements on their own. When clients put their cases in our hands, we dig in, find out the full story and work to get them the compensation they deserve."
Attorney Renee Pritzker Attorney Renee Pritzker

"I used to practice in a huge law firm. What I like about this firm is that we're small enough to really get to know our clients. For some people, an injury is the worst thing they'll ever experience. We help people get on with their lives. That's a lawyer's highest calling."
Attorney Eric Hageman Attorney Eric Hageman

I love the different sides of being a plaintiff’s lawyer; helping injured people obtain justice; and, also, forcing people or companies to be accountable for their actions.  Helping people achieve justice is obviously the biggest motivator in this profession and it’s why I became a plaintiff’s lawyer in the first place.
Attorney Brendan Flaherty Attorney Brendan Flaherty

“We know how to listen. That’s always the first step. Injured people know what they need. They might not know the law or the right term for it, but they have a real sense of what’s fair. Our job is to make sure our clients get the justice they deserve.”

What We Believe

Our professional lives are dedicated to upholding the constitutional rights of our clients. We believe that wrongdoers should be held accountable for the harms and losses they cause and injury victims should be fairly compensated for the damages they sustain. The firm motto summarizes our commitment, Justice for Injured People.
