Situation: A 42-year-old construction worker was killed when a faulty crane collapsed at a job site. The general contractor and equipment manufacturer disputed liability, alleging worker negligence. The family faced mounting funeral expenses and loss of primary income with two children still in college.
Outcome: After eighteen months of litigation and mediation, our attorneys secured a $4.8 million settlement for the estate, including damages for loss of consortium, lost future earnings, and pain and suffering. The case also prompted the manufacturer to implement new safety protocols across all product lines.
Situation: A CFO of a mid-sized technology firm was charged with securities fraud and insider trading following an SEC investigation. He faced up to 25 years in federal prison and $5 million in fines. The government's case relied heavily on circumstantial email evidence and testimony from a cooperating witness.
Outcome: Our trial team exposed material inconsistencies in the government's key witness testimony and successfully moved to suppress improperly obtained digital evidence. After a six-week trial, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all eleven counts. Our client's professional reputation was fully restored.
Situation: A father sought primary custody of his two young children after the mother relocated across state lines without notice. The mother alleged parental unfitness based on the father's demanding work schedule. The children had been living with the father for the previous eight months under a temporary arrangement.
Outcome: We presented extensive evidence of the father's active parenting role, including school involvement and extracurricular coordination. The court awarded our client sole legal and primary physical custody, with the mother receiving supervised visitation. The children have since thrived in their father's care, maintaining strong academic performance.
Situation: A family-owned manufacturing company entered into a five-year supply agreement with a national retailer. After eighteen months, the retailer abruptly terminated the contract without cause, citing a obscure force majeure clause. The termination cost the manufacturer over $4 million in lost revenue and forced layoffs of 30 employees.
Outcome: We argued that the force majeure clause did not apply and that the termination constituted bad faith. The jury agreed, awarding $3.2 million in compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys' fees. The manufacturer was able to rehire laid-off workers and expand its operations with a new, more reliable partner.
The trust our clients place in us is our most valuable asset. Here are their stories in their own words.
After my car accident, I was overwhelmed by medical bills, insurance adjusters, and confusion about what to do next. Sarah Mitchell and her team took over everything — they handled all communication with the insurance company, gathered medical records, and negotiated a settlement far beyond what I expected. What impressed me most was how they treated me not like a case number, but like a human being. They called me regularly to check on my recovery and explained every step of the legal process in plain language. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough to anyone who has been injured and needs a compassionate, effective legal advocate.
Facing federal fraud charges was the most terrifying experience of my life. I had no idea how the legal system worked or whether I would ever see my family again if I was convicted. James Rodriguez gave me hope but never made false promises. He was honest about the challenges and then worked relentlessly to overcome them. His knowledge of criminal procedure is extraordinary — he spotted weaknesses in the prosecution's case that other attorneys missed entirely. When the jury read the verdict, I broke down crying. James didn't just defend me; he saved my life. If you or someone you love is facing criminal charges, do not wait. Call this firm immediately.
My divorce was the most painful period of my life, but Emily Chen made the legal process far less daunting than I ever imagined possible. She was tough when she needed to be during negotiations, yet she never lost sight of the fact that my children's wellbeing was the most important priority. Emily helped me secure a fair division of assets and a custody arrangement that allowed both my ex-wife and me to remain actively involved in our children's lives. She also connected me with an excellent therapist and a financial planner who helped me rebuild after the divorce. I am grateful every day that I chose Justice & Associates to guide me through that dark time.
