Philosophy
The founding principle of the firm was and is that each client’s case is extremely important to the client. The firm’s goal is to work with the client and the claims supervisor of their insurance carrier or their third-party administrator to bring each case to a satisfactory resolution. The firm is large enough to provide proper staffing for practically any litigation but also small enough to provide detailed personal attention to each file. It is the firm’s philosophy to determine the goal of the client or its insurance carrier early on in the litigation. The firm will set about to aggressively initiate discovery in order to provide a fast and accurate evaluation of the client’s exposure. It is the firm’s goal to assist the client in resolving the case through settlement or trial in the most cost effective and efficient manner possible.

Mission
The firm’s goal is to serve each client in a professional, fair, and economical manner. The firm is not the largest firm in Missouri or the largest firm in southwest Missouri by design. It is the goal of the firm to give individual attention to each client’s file. The firm will evaluate the facts relating to any file to perform the necessary discovery to provide the client with an accurate evaluation of their case. The firm will be prepared to try the case. The firm is able to assist clients with alternative dispute resolution whether it be arbitration, administrative decision making, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution. The firm can provide contacts and assist the client in retaining quality experts in the local community or on a nationwide basis to assist in the defense of their case.

Members of the firm, over the years, have represented clients on numerous occasions at mediations where cases have been successfully resolved. The firm also has members who have the skill and knowledge to negotiate a settlement with opposing counsel without the assistance of a third party.
