C. Arthur “Brother” Rutter III

Managing Partner

“People don’t come to me on a winning streak; I am an injury lawyer. And because they may be facing the hardest time of their lives, I’m in a position to make a real difference for my clients. I take that responsibility seriously, and I welcome the challenge ahead. I believe in making things better. And I like to win.”

Adam Harris Lotkin

Partner/ Litigation Manager

I love being in the courtroom, and I am proud of my ability to think outside the box and throw a few curveballs the opposition does not expect. I believe in justice and fairness for all Americans, so I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously. As the proverb says “To whom much is given…much is required.”

andrew-boran

Andrew Boran

Personal Injury Attorney

I know the insurance companies better than most, I spent 20 years working for one. I came to understand how they will always try to take advantage of someone who doesn’t have a lawyer, and I wanted to become the lawyer who stops that.

chris-daughtry

Chris Daughtry

Personal Injury Attorney

If insurance companies did what they were supposed to do, people wouldn’t need lawyers. But the truth is, people call us because they’re being ignored, pressured, shortchanged, or lied to—right when they need help the most. I’m honored to stand with clients when they need an advocate. It’s not just my job—it’s a privilege I take personally.

Daniel deLalla

When someone’s been hurt on the job or in an accident, they’re not just dealing with pain—they’re facing fear, lost income, and uncertainty. My role is to lift that weight, to make sure they’re heard, and to fight like crazy so they don’t have to face it alone.
