"As a personal injury lawyer who primarily represents hurt victims I most often oppose insurance companies and large corporations. Invariably those companies do not have my client's best interests at heart. I take the position that insurance companies must pay what they were paid to pay and corporations must be held accountable when they hurt my client."
