Why Co-Counsel With Us?

Many of our cases are referred to us by other lawyers.  With a history of success in the courtroom, our presence as co-counsel consistently increases the value of cases.  We routinely take on disputed liability cases with zero or low offers and, in many of them, find additional sources of recovery.

We believe in collaboratively working with our co-counsel to maximize justice for the people we represent.  We can proudly say that many of our co-counsel arrangements result in lifelong friendships and continued, lucrative working relationships.

In the last three years alone, we have generated over $7 million in attorney’s fees that went directly to attorneys and law firms outside of our firm who chose to co-counsel with us.

Here are some of our notable, recent co-counsel results:

  • $7 million commercial vehicle settlement in disputed liability case
  • $5 million truck wreck recovery
  • $3.7 million wrongful death recovery
  • $3 million brain injury recovery ($250,000 offer before our involvement)
  • $3 million trip and fall settlement (there was no offer before our involvement)
  • $2.1 million tender of policy limits ($460,000 offer before our involvement)
  • $2 million truck wreck recovery with disputed liability (zero offer before our involvement)
  • $2 million traumatic brain injury recovery (there was no offer before our involvement)
  • $1 million truck wreck settlement (zero offer before our involvement)
  • $825,000 car crash verdict ($90,000 offer before our involvement)
  • $620,000 dram shop recovery ($100,000 offer before our involvement)
  • $525,000 motorcycle crash settlement ($210,000 final offer before our involvement)
  • $525,000 slip and fall settlement (no offer before our involvement)
  • $500,000 disputed liability truck wreck recovery ($50,000 offer before our involvement)

We comply with all state ethics rules when entering co-counsel arrangements.  Although many of our co-counsel arrangements are with attorneys in the Midwest, we frequently co-counsel with attorneys across the country.  We are happy to front the costs of litigation and either perform most of the work or divide the work with referring counsel. Please contact us to discuss how we can work together.  Whether we can work together on a specific case or not, we are glad to meet with you and offer our advice on your case, without charge.
