Our Team
A sharp mind, good mental disposition and never quit attitude
Our firm grows each year because we provide outstanding service to our clients and we are rewarded for our efforts with an increasing amount of business. In order to keep up with this growth and as a strategic move towards providing the highest level of legal representation we select summer clerks who show an eagerness for and an aptitude towards our litigation practice. This requires a sharp mind, good mental disposition and never quit attitude. If after the summer, the student has surpassed our expectations we offer them a year round clerk position. Through this we are able to teach law students the practical side of law along with their classroom education. This process creates attorneys who are graduating from law school with a more complete education. These attorneys are then ready to hit the ground running with real world experience under their belt.

I highly recommend his services...
Matt Singer was of invaluable help to my son and my family. My son Weston served with Halliburton in Afghanistan and was injured. AIG stood in his way for years, blocking his treatment and delaying his recovery. After years of trying to resolve this issue, we finally succeeded getting my son his necessary disk replacement surgery. We eventually found and contacted Matt late in our fight. He helped us quickly get the final resolution and settlement with the insurance company through arbitration. If we had known to contact him earlier, we would not have had a six year ordeal with unbelievable anguish and pain. I highly recommend his services.
