PARTNER AND CHAIR, PROPERTY DAMAGE SOLUTIONS
I believe Law as Results means SOLUTIONS. It's about learning the client's goal, developing a game plan to achieve it and executing the plan relentlessly. There is a peace of mind that always seems to come with a game plan.
Over the years, I've had very few clients walk in the door and explicitly ask for legal advice. Everyone tends to walk in the door with a problem - and a concern. I make it a point at every meeting with a new client to work out a plan to solve the problem. Then I ask them to let us shoulder their burden.
I've been working with clients this way since 1979, representing a variety of businesses and individuals in obtaining seven-, eight- and nine-figure recoveries from insurers who wrongfully deny policyholder claims.
These recoveries have involved some of the most notorious construction defect and damage disputes in the Western United States, including: a commercial airplane hangar at the Anchorage Airport; a public aquarium in Seward, Alaska; a five-star hotel in Santa Barbara; a water pipeline outside Boulder; an underground shaft failure in Seattle; over 100 condominiums in Seattle; and many, many others.
There's never a guarantee we will win. But my clients know there is always a solid and understandable game plan in place, designed to solve the problem at hand.
A relentless pursuit of a game plan ends with a solution. That's Law as Results.
