How we can help
Whatever happened, you shouldn't carry it alone.
All practice areasSlip & Fall / Premises Liability
Broken stairs, icy sidewalks, unlit lobbies, negligent security. Property owners who knew — or should have known — and did nothing.
Workplace & Construction Injuries
Falls from height, struck-by injuries, equipment failures. Workers' comp is often only part of what you're owed — we find the rest.
Medical Malpractice
Surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, birth injuries. Led by a partner who spent nine years as an ICU nurse before law school.
"No fee unless we win" — what it actually means
If we don't recover money for you, you owe us nothing. Period.
We work on contingency: our fee is a percentage of what we win for you, paid out of the recovery at the end — never out of your pocket. We front the case costs, the experts, and the filing fees. If there's no recovery, those are our losses, not yours.
-
$0 to start
No retainer, no hourly bills, no credit check.
-
We advance every cost
Experts, records, filing fees — carried by the firm until your case resolves.
-
The math, in writing, on day one
Fee percentage and cost handling are in your retainer agreement before we lift a finger.
-
You always net more than zero
If we lose, you owe nothing. That's the whole point.

What happens when you call
One call, and the weight starts moving off your shoulders.
-
We listen — free, in English or Spanish
Tell us what happened. A case specialist gathers the facts and an attorney reviews them the same day. If we can't help, we'll say so honestly and point you in the right direction.
-
We move on the evidence
Preservation letters go out within 48 hours — camera footage, maintenance logs, event-data recorders. Deadlines get calendared, some as short as 90 days.
-
We fight; you heal
We handle the insurers, the paperwork, and the negotiation — and prepare every case as if it will see a jury. You pay nothing unless we win.

In their words
"Never talked past. Never a number."
“The insurance company offered me $19,000 and told me it was generous. Sterling Justice got me 46 times that. But what I remember most is that Marcus called me back at 11pm the night of my crash.”
“I'm a nurse. I knew something had gone wrong with my mother's surgery, but every lawyer I called wanted money up front to 'look into it.' Alana read the chart herself, for free, and told me the truth in a week.”
“My boss told me workers' comp was all I could get. Erik found the case against the building owner that paid for my whole recovery — and my retraining.”
