Personal Injury Lawyer David Brassfield

Statement Of Practice

“Success in the legal profession requires vision and foresight. You have to anticipate what the other party is going to do, and prepare for it clearly. It pays to be attentive to detail at every stage of the process. The evidence, the settlement agreement, the presentations for trial – these details can have dramatic effects on case results. We prepare thoroughly for settlement and trial to achieve the best possible results for our clients.”
