FAMILY OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE/WRONGFUL DEATH VICTIM
EDUCATION. EMPOWERMENT GUIDANCE
Life changing events happen. You cannot rewind time and plan better, stop a devastating injury to yourself or a family member, or stop severe sexual harassment. What you can do is learn what to do to protect yourself. Your family. And then take action. That’s where we come in. We believe in educating individuals about their legal rights and the complex legal process before they hire a lawyer. Once hired, we empower our clients to protect their family legacy and stand up for their rights against large institutions and insurance companies when things go wrong. Along the way we use our knowledge and experience to advocate for and guide our clients towards making the right decisions for themselves and their families.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
- We only represent individuals, families and small, local, businesses.
Not big companies or insurance companies. Ever. - We are not a large firm mill. Intentionally.
We both started our careers in large law firms and decided long ago to stay small. We accept a small number of cases and focus on them. This means that your case will not be dumped onto someone else. - Other lawyers trust us
to refer their friends, family and clients with Estate Planning and employment and serious injury matters. This often includes lawyers who have been on the opposite side of us in the past. Referrals make up the majority of our business. - We are married, to each other.
Because of that we very much take a family approach to our law firm and to our clients. Clients are not numbers to us; they are an extension of our family and we take that seriously. - We turn away most litigation cases.
You may think this is not a good thing, but doing so allows us to focus completely on those cases that we do accept. - We are transparent.
We believe that the more you know, the better we will have served you. We don’t believe that the legal profession should be shrouded in mystery. We provide a ton of information – both on our website and throughout the course of our representation – because we believe that educating you is a critical step in the process.
Every law firm will tell you that they have many years of “combined experience”, or that they’ve collected “millions” for clients, or that they offer “free consultations”. We can say that too, but we don’t think it’s helpful to you.
We take a different approach to representing clients.

Working with Scott and his team has been an absolute flawless experience. The hard work and dedication that comes from this firm is worth every moment. Words can't express the care of counseling that Scott Peterson provides. He has knowledge of every detail and explains everything in laymen terms. This firm leaves no stone unturned, quick satisfactory payout and by far the best Attorney we could've asked for.
