DEDICATED PERSONAL ATTENTION. AGGRESSIVE REPRESENTATION.

DEDICATED PERSONAL ATTENTION. AGGRESSIVE REPRESENTATION.

The negligent, careless, reckless, or intentional conduct of others can cause loss of life or horrific physical, emotional, and financial injuries to innocent people and their families, leaving lasting visible and invisible scars. For more than 38 years our office has successfully represented injured people, securing millions of dollars in compensation arising from animal attacks; bar and restaurant liability; boating injuries; burns; car, truck, motorcycle, and other vehicle collisions; caregiver abuse; construction injuries; defective products; false arrest; hotel and resort liability; industrial injuries; liquor liability; medical malpractice; nursing home negligence and abuse; pedestrian injuries; premises security; property defects; railroad incidents; recreational injuries; shopping center and store liability; slip/trip and fall; workplace injuries; and other traumas. Our evaluation of these cases is always free of charge. If we accept a case, representation is most often contingency fee based, and in those instances there is no fee until our client secures a financial recovery through a settlement or litigation award. We fight tirelessly to help our clients get the compensation that they deserve.

Our Process – How We Get Results

Our Process – How We Get Results

  • Unlike some law firms, large and small, that act as clearing houses by accepting injury clients and then transferring them to other law firms, or assigning client interviews to a paralegal or secretary, all clients of our firm meet directly with Mr. Wolfe. When we receive an initial inquiry via phone or email, the client will be asked to participate in a free, no-obligation phone consultation with either Mr. Wolfe or his experienced legal assistant, to provide preliminary information that will allow us to determine if there is a valid claim for which we can provide assistance. If so, a conference with Mr. Wolfe will be scheduled for the earliest available, mutually convenient date and time. The initial conference will usually last an hour or more, and the client will be asked to bring specific documents, photos, and information for review and copying.
  • During the initial conference, Mr. Wolfe will spend considerable time learning about the client’s relevant personal background, and facts related to the potential claim. The client is encouraged to ask questions, and the representation process will be explained in detail. At the conclusion of the conference, if the client and Mr. Wolfe are comfortable with each other, and if the client decides to proceed with the claim, he or she will be asked to sign authorizations for the release of information relevant to the claim; and will be asked to read and sign a fee agreement. Representation of the client will begin when these documents are completed and signed.
  • Following the initial consultation, our firm will begin devoting considerable time and financial resources to the client’s claim, and will continue to do so until the case is concluded. Although it is always our goal to resolve each case as soon as possible by securing a good financial settlement, it is essential to approach every case from the outset with an understanding that an amicable resolution may not be possible. There is no substitute for anticipating and preparing for the unexpected. For that reason, investigations will include, when necessary, the services of an experienced investigative firm retained by our office for witness location and interviews; interaction with involved law enforcement authorities; necessary video and photography; and the general gathering of evidence important to the case. All relevant parties, insurance carriers, and medical providers are notified of the claim and our representation. In order to protect our clients, adverse parties and all insurance carriers are instructed that all communications regarding the claim must be made exclusively through our office.  Our clients are continuously provided with copies of all important correspondence and documents, and are encouraged to keep in contact with our office with any questions or information about the case. Experience has shown that an open line of communication between the client and our office is critical to a successful result.
  • Every effort is made to settle the claim for fair value, without the need for lengthy and expensive litigation. More often than not, we are able to achieve that goal.  Sometimes we cannot, due to a variety of case-specific factors, including but not limited to a need to toll the statute of limitations because of ongoing client medical treatment; liability and/or damages disputes by the opposition; and failure by the opposing insurance carrier to fairly evaluate the claim. In those situations, we will not hesitate to file suit to protect our clients’ interests.
  • Once we file suit on our client’s behalf, hard work continues in preparation for a possible battle at trial. Throughout the written discovery, oral deposition, and ongoing investigative phases of the litigation, we continually marshal evidence and resources in the aggressive representation of our client, keeping in mind that success is often in the details. While we persist in efforts to reach a fair settlement, if a trial cannot be avoided we will be ready. Many attorneys who handle injury litigation, including some who advertise heavily in the media, have never seen the inside of a courtroom, and avoid it at all costs. That is not the way that we do business. Mr. Wolfe has had extensive experience for nearly 40 years arbitrating and trying cases before judges and juries in state and federal courts, and does not hesitate to vigorously advocate a client’s interests at trial whenever necessary.
