Most of these cases begin the same way.  Early reports assign blame in whatever direction is simplest and most convenient. The injured or deceased person is often the one blamed. Such a version of events protects the companies and powerful institutions involved.  It is rarely the full truth. Our work begins by challenging that version. I realize that understanding why a tragedy occurs is essential to not only winning in the courtroom, but to giving families the answers they deserve. Through investigation, reconstruction, and relentless preparation, we work to uncover the real causes by often revealing decisions and failures that were hidden beneath the surface. “The first explanation is almost never the full story. If you don’t understand why it happened, you can’t prove what really matters.”
