We take pride in the personal attention and service that we provide to our clients. When our clients need litigation, we are aggressive trial lawyers, never afraid to fight to protect the rights of injured clients. We are also aware of the risks and costs associated with protracted litigation and constantly seek creative ways for the early settlement of cases that provides clients with the full compensation to which they are entitled.

There is a difference between a firm that settles cases because it is afraid to go to trial and one that settles cases because resolution is in the best interests of the client. Although most cases settle prior to trial, significant recoveries are only achieved after exhaustive investigation, exacting preparation and hard work.

Our Opponents Know Our Reputation

Insurance companies and their attorneys know which attorneys are afraid or unwilling to take cases to trial. An insurance company with this knowledge has no incentive to negotiate or present you with a reasonable offer to resolve a case. They often base their value of a case on the reputation and credentials of your lawyer.

Insurance companies and defense attorneys know that our lawyers thoroughly prepare their cases and will proceed to a jury verdict when it is in the best interest of our client. They also know that Tom Germeroth's science and engineering background gives him an edge when handling complex, sophisticated personal injury cases involving serious injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, burns, head and brain injuries, disfigurement and fractures.
